Another topic about books... sorry

Post by Zu »

Yea, yea, yea. Another question about books. However, this thread is slightly different in that I have compiled a list of ones which I think sound good. What I am really looking for is a "rather than this book I would recommend abc because of x, y, z", "thats expensive, you can get it for £a.bc at xyz", or, "that book has become a bit outdates, try abc instead".

So far I have learnt everything I know through practice, and the good 'ol Internet. However I think it is time I read a few books to get a thorough understanding and a knowledge of why to do things... and so they will look good on my bookshelf :oops: .

The kind of stance I want to have when I graduate from university and find a job is to be a cross between a web developer and web programmer. I want to be able to make great visual pleasing sites and program the backend of them with high quality PHP code. I am already pretty much where I want to be as of now, but just feel I need that thorough understanding.

So, here is the list: Thanks for reading, I really appreciate it :)

I've read about half of those and are fairly aware of the others... the only two there that I say are a must-read are Schifflet's Security book and Andy Budd's "CSS Mastery".
