Lists of Bests: Chris Griego's "The Essential Web Developer Bookshelf" http://www.listsofbests.com/list/2163 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.
