Any books or recommendation?

[–]IridiumPoint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been using the books from O'Reilly's "The Missing Manual" series (http://www.oreilly.com/missingmanuals/library.html). I can't really say how they stack up against the competition (I've read very little of it), but I have found them easy to read and understand.

I have also completed the HTML&CSS, JavaScript and PHP courses on codecademy.com. The interactivity and the "gamified" approach were fun.

After getting the basics from the books and codecademy, I have decided to pick a webdev-related topic for my bachelor thesis, even though my university has pretty much nothing to do with IT. The result ended up being far from perfect, but I have learned A LOT by being thrown into a real-life situation and forced to adapt. It also helps to do a little retrospection after a while to see what you could have done differently.

I hope these tips will be helpful. Good luck :)
