I keep it right by my side when programming in ASP or WebClasses. While I have not yet worked my way through this entire book, it does appear to be the long awaited and much needed definitive guide to this exciting new technology. Covering everything from the XML object model through XSL, CSS, e-commerce, SOAP, WAP and WML, this book is well written and comprehensive. For years I've subscribed to the Universal Subscription, which gets me a copy of every development tool offered by Microsoft, online technical support, and their complete MSDN information library. It is, without exaggeration, indispensable.
Magazines There are many magazines on Web development, and some are quite good.
The one that I find indispensable is now called MSDN . These are now a single magazine, and every issue has at least one article I can't live without. There are a plethora excellent websites devoted to Web development. Each of these provides tutorials, sample code and guidance through introductory and advanced techniques. InformIT offers a complete online community delivering information, technology, reference, training, news, and opinion to IT professionals, students, and corporate users.
