11.PHP 6 and MySQL 5 for Dynamic Web Sites: Visual QuickPro Guide (Visual QuickPro Guides) by: Larry Ullman January 02, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £28.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £17.39 You Save: £11.60 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £18.03
This books is a perfect starting point for people coming from HTML, CSS and Javascript. It goes through all the necessary and most basic parts of PHP and MySQL, but doesn't go into any depth with anything. So if you want to become an expert at PHP, you WILL need to get other books as well. The book is set up in a tutorial fashion, where you are taken through a step by step description of everything. Having coded PHP for a few years, i still go back to this book to look up stuff i can't quite remember. It's definitely worth buying if you want to learn PHP and MySQL.

13.Search Engine Optimization: An Hour a Day by: Jennifer Grappone, Gradiva Couzin April 11, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £15.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £10.39 You Save: £5.60 (35%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £10.54
I have been optimising sites for search (with a reasonable degree of success) as part of my occupation as a web developer for nearly four years now. At the time of writing, my site is #1 and #2 (out of more than 8.5 million) in Google for my chosen keyword term. Upon reading this book, I learned how to turn the "basic optimisation" that I do well, into a much more professional optimisation service suitable to be presented to (potential) clients. I own 8 SEO books. If you're starting out, "Search Engine Optimization for Dummies" is a good place to start but I have learned more useful stuff from this book than from the other 7 combined.

14.Pro C# 2008 and the .NET 3.5 Platform, Fourth Edition by: Andrew Troelsen November 15, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £37.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £34.49 You Save: £3.50 ( 9%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £16.50
This is a really excellent technical book that you can actually enjoy reading from cover to cover. It assumes a reasonable level of competance, but actually goes through learning C# and .NET in a way that would be an excellent beginners method too (especially if you went through every example, to which source code is available online). The author even manages to get in the odd bit of dry humour too which never goes amiss in a thick technical book such as this! The book regularly points you at a number of web resources which the author has built up over the years which give excellent additional information about topics which are outside the scope of the book. Overall, I'd say this is one of the best technical books I have ever read.

15.Linux Pocket Guide (Pocket Guide: Essential Commands) by: Daniel Barrett February 18, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £6.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £5.56 You Save: £1.39 (20%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £2.66
So many books are thick, wordy, and conceal their nuggets of wisdom, but not this one. It's not big, so you won't find full details on (eg) all of the many Linux email clients - but they get a mention. Works well for me (ex BSD 4.x sysop in the 1980s) as well as friends with no previous knowledge of operating systems. It's the examples that are such a help - most of the things we've needed to do are covered with a brief, relevant example. We use it with Ubuntu mainly - Debian distros are not identical to Fedora but we've not seen a problem - both are Linux and conform to the POSIX standard. Reading it cover-to-cover is logical, informative, and highly recommended. Three times, and the info is starting to stick..... Then keep it handy to look things ... Read More:

18.Sams Teach Yourself SQL in 10 Minutes (Sams Teach Yourself) by: Ben Forta April 07, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £10.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £6.59 You Save: £4.40 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £4.95
I bought this book because I am a programmer and need to interact with SQL on a daily basis. However...I do not want to know the fine grain details about database management systems. This is a great little book. It is very easy to read and met my needs perfectly. The samples are all easily achievable in 10 minutes, just like it says on the cover. This makes them very easy to scan over for a refresher when you are trying to work out a solution to a problem. It does not go into great details on the more advanced topics, however it does offer a primer on some of them such as transactions and cursors. Overall I would have no hesitation in recommending this book. It won't make you a SQL pro...but it will definitely make you more comfortable in common situations using this ... Read More:

19.The Mythical Man Month and Other Essays on Software Engineering by: Frederick P. Brooks August 08, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £22.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £16.09 You Save: £6.90 (30%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £12.00
For sure the Mythical Man Month was a seminal essay back then. This is worth reading for sure. But the rest of the book is very out of date, and very repetitive. It gets a bit wearing too hearing the old line that hardware has advanced a thousand fold and software hasn't. Er, played any computer games lately? I'd recommend reading the Mythical Man Month elsewhere if you can find it online and save the time, money, and effort reading the whole book. Time better spent reading a book on Agile, or XP I would think.

20.Professional Excel Development: The Definitive Guide to Developing Applications Using Microsoft Excel and VBA by: Stephen Bullen, Rob Bovey, John Green February 10, 2005

Brilliant, just don't buy it until you are reasonably confident with the same authors Excel reference or similar - this is not an entry level text. Worth it for the naming conventions alone!
