Books
Although the web is a fantastic resource for all manner of information, many of us still learn best from books. Here are a few that have been helpful to us.

CSS: The Missing Manual by David Sawyer McFarland
A fantastic tour through the power of Cascading Style Sheets. Highly recommended, this is a book that keeps being lifted down from the shelf! I have the first edition, but this link is to the Second Edition, release date September 2009. |

PHP 6 and MySQL 5 for Dynamic Web Sites: Visual QuickPro Guide by Larry Ullman
This book is a very useful introduction to both PHP and MySQL, as well as explaining how to link the two together. However, it doesn't (can't) go into the depths of either of them, so if there's something specific or in-depth you want to do, you may well also need a dedicated reference. For example, there is nothing in here about Object-Oriented Programming with PHP. Some people don't like the way the code is laid out in a column next to the text, but I didn't find it a problem. |
