Plenty of magazines. My favorite being How Design (www.howdesign.com).
Google Hacks (O'Reily)
Amazon Hacks (O'Reily)
A Photoshop book
50 Websites Deconstructed

A few other's too, but I don't really use the them anymore (Frontpage books, etc.).

| The one book that really did it for me was JavaScript: The Definitive Guide by Flannagan by O'Reilly. I've used lots of books that were great but this is just so well written and so well thought-out. In my work, I need to do a lot of DOM manipulation and this book taught me how to figure out how to do anything I want. It's not a cookbook though, just really good at showing you how to figure JS problems out. |
