So where's the best-practices security checklist?

I'm not a security expert. I write webapps. I'm open to learning new techniques and using other people's libraries. However, I need to balance that against the need to get something out the door. As mynameishere put it, I'd love to have a website that's even worth breaking in to.

If there's some sort of tutorial out there that says "For passwords, use this library. For SQL injection, escape your parameters with this procedure. Here's how to secure your server from being rooted. Add these lines to your mailserver's config to avoid being used as a spam vector", I'd love to read it.
