the way, this is much more theoretical than hands on. There are not
cool graphics techniques in this book...instead, the book focuses on the
planning and design that happens before the graphics are actually
created.
Another excellent design focussed book. I have actually used
some of these templates for my own pages. The advice offered here is
very good. Unlike "Web Concept and Design" however, this book
actually walks you through the development of the graphics.

The C Programming Language : ANSI C Version
- Most of the C & Unix Gurus learned C from this book. This book
is concise and powerful -- like C itself. And it was written by Kernighan
himself. All real C programmers should have this K&R book ! ; Brian W.
Kernighan, Dennis M. Ritchie;
The C++ Programming Language - This book is an essential addition to a C++ programmer's library.
The author invented the language! It is not for dummies, and it wouldn't be
my first choice for an entry-level, self-help tutorial on C++ for beginning
programmers ; Bjarne Stroustrup;
If you have
not gone to school to learn computer programming, I recommend you get
this
and read it. It represents the 101 course you missed and is written
well
enough that you don't need a professor to explain it.
If you have finished the Standish book above, you should get this
book
next. This is a more high level discussion of recursion and data
structures
used in recursion. To iterate is mortal. To recurse is divine.
Once you are comfortable with the syntax of Perl, it is time for you
to
begin to utilize the true power. Regular expressions are perhaps the
most
important topic to master within the Perl CGI universe. This book has
it
all.
Excellent UNIX manual for CGI Programmers since this book contains
good
explainations of all the commands as well as great discussions of
permissions and sed and awk, two invaluable tools for doing major HTML
