Sitepoint

I would like to make a toast to the fantastic selection of web design/development oriented books delivered from Sitepoint. I own only a couple myself, the best of which is ‘The Principles of Beautiful Web Design‘, which I must say is a awesome book and reference.

Whether you’re a designer, client-side or server-side developer, project manager, freelancer, hacker, CSS Guru or jack-of-all-trades - you can be assured there’s something for you (how cheesy does that sound.)
