What language or technology would you use to create a carousel for products like books? Is it javascript? Right now I only know HTML & CSS and have just begun JavaScript.

Even though you only know HTML/CSS -- I think if you tinker with it enough you should be able to get i!
I have seen these in Bootsrap sites, and one of their main layouts feature a carousel. (http://getbootstrap.com/examples/carousel/) this of course, leads you to checking out Bootstrap (www.getbootstrap.com) and from there you could see how you could be able to implement it.
Here are some tutorials: http://parkhurstdesign.com/improved-carousels-twitter-bootstrap/ http://www.tutorialrepublic.com/twitter-bootstrap-tutorial/bootstrap-carousel.php
I also found some on github and Slick looks interesting if its something you'd like a little more control over: http://kenwheeler.github.io/slick/
Hope this helps!

20,160 PointsThat helps a lot, thanks. I appreciate all of the links you gave. Is bootstrap hard to learn or figure out? That github link "slick" seems to be very close to what I was looking for.
