No surprise here, possible dupes:
Good Books for Learning Web Programming
Required Reading for a Soon to be Web Developer
and there will be more.
For a personal project, I’m starting to do some web programming using Django. I’ve programmed since I was very young on several languages, mostly Pascal/Delphi, C/C++, SQL Python (sometimes in other languages such as Java, PHP or Perl) so I’m not a newbie programmer, but apart from basic HTML I’ve little experience on the front-end side of web programming (CSS, HTML, Javascript and AJAX) because on my former professional projects if there was web programming somebody would do the frontend part.
I’m loving the Django framework but I feel very limited and lost with the frontend part and would like to improve on it. What books that wont lose 100 pages explaining what a variable or a function is would you recommend? (better if all of these technologies are covered together, but different books on each topic is Ok too)
I can recommend a few that I usually provide my Jr. web developers, and that I find my self referencing from time to time. These are create for basic web development, and depending on your back end server environment, you may want to purchase a books on IIS and C#, or Apache and PHP etc.
