Recommended text books

Having just about finished the first section of my course "How to build a website", I feel I could do with some physical books to refer to and which contain examples to practise what I have learned.

I would appreciate recommendations for all disciplines but particularly HTML, CSS, PHP, JQuery, Java, SQL and Ajax.

I haven't found anywhere on the Treehouse site where there are practise examples following lessons but if there is such a place, could you point me to it.

For me, consolidation is key otherwise I will forget what I have learned within a few days.

Many thanks

Duncan

Hi Duncan!

Jon Duckett has two great books, "HTML & CSS" and "Javascript & jQuery". I really like them and they have helped me a lot!

So I would recommend them, hopefully some others has other recommendations to help you.

Good luck!

Thanks Jon

They do look good and the amazon review has one from a Bsc student who has them on his university course.
