See what I'm doing? I'm burning through A Book Apart's wonderful library. When they say "Brief books for people who make websites", they mean it. It's clear, precise writing with well organized content. Beautiful.

This book may be small, but it's packed with information. It covers everything a web designer needs to know to start using HTML5 right now with the greatest benefit. I'd even say this is worth reading if you're already slightly familiar with the subject. I was and I still learned some cool tricks.

This book was refreshing. It wasn't full of code snippets and tutorials. Luke Wroblewski presents a concise argument for designing mobile first and backs up everything with great information and best practices.

I just finished reading this book and it was awesome. It's short, but don't let that fool you. This thing is packed with techniques for creating thoughtful and organized CSS.

This book covered everything from getting the Raspberry Pi up and running to some basic Linux administration and customization. It even touched on some simple Python programming. This is an excellent resource for the absolute beginner. That said, I'm still glad I checked it out.
