Vert Studios Web Design Bookshelf
Justin and I both firmly advocate self-teaching as a necessity in the web design industry. No one is ever really finished learning web design or web development. Books serve as an excellent way to learn new concepts. Books are usually much more in-depth than a blog post or article, and also provide plenty of examples of real-world applications.
