1. Ajax: The Definitive Guide
Ajax: The Definitive Guide by Anthony T. Holdener
Ajax builds on older technologies and techniques but reaches a tipping point where the results are new. This book gives you a boost to this next stage of web application development, teaching you how tried-and-true web standards not only make Ajax possible, but why developing with them is faster, easier and cheaper. Learn to build browser-based applications that function like desktop programs.
This book explains how to use JavaScript, XML, CSS, and XHTML, along with the XMLHttpRequest object, to build browser-based web applications that function like desktop programs. You get a complete background on what goes into today’s web sites and applications, and learn to leverage these tools along with Ajax for advanced browser searching, web services, mashups, and more. You discover how to turn a web browser and web site into a true application, and why developing with Ajax is faster, easier and cheaper.
2. Pro JavaScript Techniques
Pro JavaScript Techniques by John Resig
The book is organized into four sections: Modern JavaScript development – using JavaScript the object-oriented way, creating reusable code, plus testing and debugging DOM scripting – updating content and styles, plus events, and effect and event libraries Ajax – how Ajax works, overcoming problems, and using libraries to speed up development of Ajax applications The future of JavaScript – looking at cutting edge topics like JSON, HTML 5, and more.
All concepts are backed up by real-world examples and case studies, and John provides numerous reusable functions and classes to save you time in your development. There are also up-to-date reference appendixes for the DOM, events, browser support (including IE7), and frameworks – so you can look up specific details quickly and easily.
3. Thinking with Type
Thinking with Type by Ellen Lupton
The organization of letters on a blank sheet — or screen — is the most basic challenge facing anyone who practices design. What type of font to use? How big? How should those letters, words, and paragraphs be aligned, spaced, ordered, shaped, and otherwise manipulated? In this book Ellen Lupton provides clear and concise guidance for anyone learning or brushing up on their typographic skills.
The book is divided into three sections: letter, text, and grid. Each section begins with an easy-to-grasp essay that reviews historical, technological, and theoretical concepts, and is then followed by a set of practical exercises that bring the material covered to life. Sections conclude with examples of work by leading practitioners that demonstrate creative possibilities (along with some classic no-no’s to avoid).
4. Geometry of Design: Studies in Proportion and Composition
Geometry of Design: Studies in Proportion and Composition by Kimberly Elam
This book presents a mathematical explanation of how art works presented in a manner we can all understand. Kimberly Elam takes the reader on a geometrical journey, lending insight and coherence to the design process by exploring the visual relationships that have foundations in mathematics as well as the essential qualities of life. The book takes a close look at a broad range of twentieth-century examples of design, architecture, and illustration (from the Barcelona chair to the Musica Viva poster, from the Braun handblender to the Conico kettle), revealing underlying geometric structures in their compositions.
Explanations and techniques of visual analysis make the inherent mathematical relationships evident and a must-have for anyone involved in graphic arts. The book focuses not only on the classic systems of proportioning, such as the golden section and root rectangles, but also on less well known proportioning systems such as the Fibonacci Series. Through detailed diagrams these geometric systems are brought to life giving an effective insight into the design process.
5. Photoshop CS3 Bible

10. Seventy-nine Short Essays on Design
Seventy-nine Short Essays on Design by Michael Bierut
The 272-page hardcover book brings together twenty years of essays on subjects that range from New York’s faulty “Push for Walk Signal” buttons, to the disappearance of the AT&T logo, to the implications of Vladimir Nabokov’s Pale Fire for interaction designers.
Many of the pieces first appeared on Design Observer, the popular blog that Michael edits with Jessica Helfand and Bill Drenttel, including “Designing Under the Influence,” “I Hate ITC Garamond,” and “The Road to Hell: Now Paved with Innovation!” Seventy-nine Essays also includes pieces that appeared elsewhere and pieces that have never been published in other collections, like “Waiting for Permission,” “How to Become Famous” and “Ten Footnotes on a Manifesto.”

As great as all of the books are, I think, for me, it’s gotta be number 2. John Resig has so tremendously helped me out thanks to jQuery, I can’t wait to see what he’s got stashed in that book :)

Schoon (October 8th, 2008, 6:05 am)
You’re one of the few feeds I actually read. Why?
Because you have actual, readable, and *gasp*interesting content.
In other news, I’m new to web programming (I’m a game dev), so I’ll pick #2.

Smashing Magazine - simply smashing! Discovered you not too long ago via Twitter. Great resource for designers of all types! My fav of these books is Thinking with Type. Regardless of your area of specialty (Web, print or otherwise), typography is paramount in communicating your message.
