When you drive through deep water you should dry out your brakes by driving slowly in low gear and apply your brakes lightly.?
Yes You don't have to drive in low gear. If you go through a large, deep puddle and then have a clear road, you can drive fast and lightly touch your brakes or firmly press them a couple of times. It doesn't take long but test them to see.

It was recommended to me to apply the brakes while driving through a puddle because having the shoes or pads pressing against the drums or disc will help keep water out. Is this True?
No, that is not true. Water is going to get on the rotor and on the pads no matter what you do. This water will quickly evaporate once you apply the brakes. Even if you do not apply the brakes centrifugal force will remove the water as you drive. Once you apply the brakes the heat created will remove the water very quickly. You may experience a slight loss of good braking the first time you apply the brakes after going through water which is normal.
Is it true that where possible you should avoid driving through standing water?
True
