What Are Your Best Web-programming Books? by bizycodin: 9:48am On Jul 16, 2015
It's !(mysterious) the amazing connection between Good Books and Good Codes.

These books are just invaluable for me..
PHP
1. Josh Lochart (Modern Php) - (Exposures to psr-4 standard, generators, traits, components.) He's also the guy behind sliim micro-framework which I am currently using in one of my projects)

2. Hasin Hayder (Object Oriented Programming with PHP 5) - This guy is such a bad guy. (SPL, one of the invaluable things I learnt here was d use of ArrayObject, ArrayIterators, Reflection and code organization).

3. Matt Zandstra (PHP Objects, Patterns and Practice) Nother bad guy. (Design Patterns and core PHP)

4. Zdenek Machek (PHPUnit Essential) - though I am yet to implement unit testing in my projects, it was a good read. I read over 60% nd got bored.

5. Janet Valade (PHP and MySQL for dummies) - My PHP list would be incomplete without this book. It was a cool introduction to server side scripting for me.

JS
1. David Flamagan (the Definitive Guide) - I was almost mistook for a mad man when reading dis book. It got me in "Flow" most of d time.

2. John Resig, Bear Bebeault (secrets of the javscript ninja) - I am currently reading this and I have read over 80 out of 394 pages nd u can imagine d kind of "whao" feeling I have reading dis book. It's such a deep-dive into JS.

Other good books I'm currently eyeing now are
Martin Fowler's Patterns of Enterprise Architecture, Donald Knuth's Art of Computer Programming and any book on algorithms.

Books are indispensable to becoming a "bad guy". Add yours nd let's spread d "word"

Yeah. Deitel is such a good book. I started Java Programming with (David Eck - Introduction to Java Programming).. That was my "First Love".!!

Josh Lockhart (Modern Php) - this book is fire,it brought me the good tidings of composer and made my code cleaner since I now follow all psr recommendations.....

Programming PHP -- Rasmus lerdorf,Kevin traore


Essential PHP security --- Chris shifflet


am currently reading speaking JS in my leisure time......

@bizycodin sir,what's good with SLIM ? I'm trying to pick up a micro framework, I wasn't impressed after installing laravel,65 % of the framework was 3rd party code,hence would be sticking to composer....

Sir, you're really on point. I use slim because of its simplicity, easy routing amongst others. Most importantly because d version of php d host I use is 5.4.3. Lumen is also a good one but d php requirement is higher. I would check out dat book on php security now!
