Best Language Explanation I've Ever Seen
I've learned a lot of tech in my time, and this book does the best job explaining the fundamentals of a language that I've ever come across. Flanagan basically builds the whole language piece by piece, explaining the fundamentals of every aspect. There are some more esoteric techniques he doesn't cover, but I hardly consider that a shortcoming; aside from those, he basically covers the entire ...

Head First Ajax (Head First)

Rebecca Riordan

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2008

A good introduction to Ajax
This book is for people who already know HTML very well and are familiar - but not necessarily experts - with CSS and Javascript. If you are not in that category you should probably check out "Head First HTML and CSS" first. This is not a reference book, but a book for understanding and, more importantly remembering Ajax via an unusual presentation style. That unusual presentation style includes ...

Required reading for Web developers
My biggest challenge was getting everyone to buy into optimization. I solved this problem by requiring everyone from development, design, customer support, and management to read Andrew King's book, "Website Optimization: Speed, Search Engine & Conversion Rate Secrets." My advice is read Chapter 10 first. Chapter 10 of Andrew King's book explains why you should include these changes in your ...

Great resource, tells you what you need to know if you are just starting in this field
The book introduces the tools, processes, and high level architectures used in building large websites like Flickr, Youtube, etc. It is short enough to give you the high level framework and send you to explore various other books, software tools, etc to get more depth as needed. I found it very valuable.

Ultimate's and authoritative Struts 2 reference
This is a proper "In Action" book. I do strongly recommend it. If you plan to buy only one reference in the subject, look no further this is it! Down Brown is a Struts PMC member and an authoritative voice, among others he is the author of the Struts 2 REST plugin which is a superb addition to the framework from version 2.1.2 The book is very well written and easy to follow. I personally ...

This guy is a very excellent teacher
I've been through this book hard enough...everytime I think the author got some missed point, no...it was my own mistake. I go back and read over again the part where I encounter the problem and thats it..The author has never left anything incorrect. I encounter a lot of frustrating part (cursing the author!) but when I turn back, again; it was my mistake. I left some paragraph unread. (Sorry.) ...

Ajax: The Definitive Guide

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2008

Very thorough treatment of Ajax
If you are looking for a book with thorough treatment of Ajax, you are in the right place. The book does justice to it's title. I appreciate all the code snippets. However, they tend to repititive. When presentig a variation of a code snippet already presented, the author repeats the whole code snippet, instead of just highlighting the differences.

Wicket in Action (In Action)

Martijn Dashorst, Eelco Hillenius

Manning Publications, 2008

Intuitive, concise, and practical
This is the first programming book that I can remember since the old Windows Programming book by Charles Petzold that really was a satisfying read. Its probably not as polished as some books but it makes up for that in its concise and effective style that is extremely rare in Java programming books. I'm looking forward to applying everything I have learned. Go Wicket!

The fastest way to come up to speed?
Some programming books suffer from the Three Little Bears syndrome: they're too detailed or not detailed enough, too conceptual or not conceptual enough, too much of a tutorial or not enough of a tutorial, and so on. The authors of Programming .NET 3.5 solved this problem by establishing clear goals for their book and by combining the insights of a senior program manager at Microsoft (Jesse ...

ESSENTIAL For ASP.NET Web Developers/Admins!!!
Wow this is a great book. When I first opened up 'Building a Web 2.0 Portal with ASP.NET 3.5' I expected this to be just any old ASP.NET web development/admin book but I was very pleasantly surprised. Brevity is the champ here, with this book coming in at just under 300 pages but man the content is dense. The focus is on managing and developing your ASP.NET 2.0 portal (as the title ...

MUST GET - If you want to get under the covers
Ok for me its a must have book. Why because I want to know all about what the micrsoft javascipt injection is actually doing, how I debug applications with it, how I make it leaner (versa using CSSQuery,JQuery and MooTools), how I wire up events and become articulate with this tecnology. You can use the MS Ajax framework on its own in say PHP. So this book is really all about the client side ...

Of particular interest to me were the chapters dedicated to writing classes in MooTools, as well as the last sections ...

Wiley, 2007

All you need
This book contains everything you need to know. My only criticism is that the first four chapters are to do with setting up the workspace and other details that you don't really need to know from the start, you don't actually start learning how to write web pages until chapter 5.

JavaScript: The Missing Manual

Pogue Press, 2008

Javascript/jQuery
I have David's CSS book and was waiting for this book to come out. I can understand one of the author's reservations about this book being jQuery specific, but if you stop to think of it, is also one of its strengths. There are "n" number of Javascript books out there which are pretty good, but do not take you beyond beginning/inermediate Javascript programming. Realistically and ...
