Chris Griego's "The Essential Web Developer Bookshelf"

I’ve always loved reading books, and that has been an asset for me in web development, because sometimes the quickest way to get up to speed on a subject is to read a book, but you have to be careful what books you read, which can make the difference between learning oudated techniques or becoming a master of best practices.
