Web Development

For books on Web Development, I cannot recommend books from Jon Duckett enough. Jon’s style of teaching is in plain English and in small, digestible chunks of information. He keeps it concise and provides refreshingly simple yet informative visual aids.

There are also code downloads for hands-on practice and code review.

If you’re interested in learning HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, or MySQL, you’ll want these on your bookshelf.
