The last book I read on web development was CSS Web Development with Simon Collison. Great book. I would recommend it.

Currently reading Bulletproof Ajax.

DOM Scripting by Jeremy Keith

Transcending CSS by Andy Clarke and Co. Fantastic read.

Not exactly a web design book but any web developer who works for themselves should give it a read: The Dip by Seth Godin. Last web book I read was Beginning CSS Web Development by Simon Collison which is very much worth reading even if you’re already a skilled CSS guru.

Learning jQuery and Javascript with Domscripting and AJAX, both highly recommended.
I also enjoyed Web Standards Creativity and Transcending CSS, both of them highly inspirational if you want to push the envelope a bit 😊

I am in the process of reading the starfish and the spider which I highly recommend as it has to do with organizations, their structure and how it affects their ability to stand the test of time.

As for tech books. I really enjoyed Beautiful Web Design. Transcending CSS is amazing. Web Standards Creativity is one that I am currently reading. Next will be a book on PHP.

Oh and who can forget the EE User Guide… Talk about a book!

Sigh, ... the power of the internet. This thread and subsequent surfing has led me to order:

DOM Scripting: Web Design with JavaScript & the Document Object Model
Prototype and Scriptaculous in Action
Bulletproof Ajax (Voices That Matter)
Simply JavaScript

Oh, yes, I’ve taken a sudden interest in javascript. Especially since the recent changes on the apple.com website. Well, that and a website project I am working on 😊

Come on people, the last time I posted on the board I got caught up in a thread where design hardly comingled with development.
A certain designer was catching some heat anyways.
Ok…
CSS books are design books in my world!
So CSS books don’t count, it is a building block of Design 😛
I’m not sure I’ve ever read a developers book. All a good code monkey needs is the [ctr + C] and [ctr + P] and a few good hacks !!!

Then I’d have to say Dom Scripting, but Learning jQuery is catching up fast.

CSS books are design books in my world!

LOL I’ll be sure to mention that next time a graphic designer gives me a layout to transfer to HTML/CSS 😊

- Dom Scripting
- Bulletproof Web Design

Both excellent books, highly recommended.

After reading this thread I ordered, and just received:
- Transcending CSS
- Simply JavaScript
- Bulletproof Ajax

Could this designer/developer difference have anything to do with coutry or continent?
I get the feeling that HTML/CSS peeps are considered designers in the US and developers in Europe… might be just my perception.

(not trying to hijack the thread btw) 😉
