I have been doing a lot of learning lately and am faily clued up with most of the stuff I need to know (other than the php that is),

I want to get some books to expand my knowledge (not virtual but paper) -there are tons to choose from but I only want a maximum of 2 for each subject. Can anyone recomend 1 or 2 books for the following...

Dreamweaver CS3 (and HTML)

CSS

PHP (I did have a book recomended for this but cant find the post where it was mentioned )

Thanks in advance

CSS - CSS Anthology
PHP - PHP5, Apache, MySQL Web Development by Wrox Publishing

Cheers Nick,

I've never heard of that CSS book before but it looks ideal.

Can anyone recomend any more please...

Larry Ullman has some good PHP books. One you might want to check out is called PHP and MySQL For Dynamic Websites.

I wouldn't recommend buying a book on Dreamweaver. I think you might find that you prefer plain text editing over a WYSIWYG editor as you get deeper into coding.

I recommend to use google, because it's free

There are plenty free tutorials out there. Just read some.

It depends on how you learn. I've always found it helpful to have a book to jump-start the learning juices if I'm taking on something new. Once I understand a subject better, Google and web resources are great references.

Part of the reason I like books is that paper is much easier to read than a webpage.
