DHTML Utopia Modern Web Design Using JavaScript & DOM
Stuart Langridge
SitePoint, 2005
Good Book With Very Clean Code
+ Great book, but hard to read hence hard to learn
+ Complicated but definately worth reading
I agree with most reviews for DHTML Utopia; the book is middle level, leaving beginners in the dust but pros wanting more. It is, however, well written and contains very good code and coding standards. If you are not completely new to JavaScript and DOM scripting, but would like to learn more and ...

Rachel Andrew's CSS Anthology doesn't offer much for the CSS veterans (I found only 1 tip I didn't know), but it's is ...

Build Your Own Database Driven Website Using PHP and MySQL
Kevin Yank
SitePoint, 2004
Excellent Book
+ A good book for getting started with php and databases.
+ Sitepoint PHP and MySQL
I highly recomend this book. I think it best serves those who already know the syntax of PHP, but it is a excellent book. I recomend either "Learning PHP" (The O'Reilly book) or "PHP for the World Wide Web : Visual QuickStart Guide" for a beginner. Both of these books will help you learn the syntax ...

SitePoint, 2007
A PHP Book that's different (and better) than the rest

It was the title that got me first interested in this book, sort of like the ...
