Perhaps a new section for "Useful Reads / Bookmarks" where those of us who have come across great web books; ref:sites that we would almost class as "Essential" could create a list. (we all know there are plenty of books/sites which are just yuk).

For example from my bookshelf:

Getting Started Books
HTML Goodies - by Joe Burns (my first book and still ref it!)
Web Design in Easy Steps - by Richard Quick
The Good Web Site Guide - by Graham Edmonds
...

Starting an E-Commerce Site
Build your own database driven website using php & MySql - by Kevin Yank
e-Start Your Web Store with Zen Cart - by Goh Koon Hoek
...

More sections e.g. 'Designing your site', 'CMS sites' etc
...

My useful Bookmarks
Website Scripts - http://www.hotscripts.com; http://www.scripts.com; Dynamic Drive DHTML(dynamic html) & JavaScript code library
FavIcon from Pics - FavIcon from Pics -- free favicon.ico for your website (animated, static and marquee icons)
Essential Image Resizer - Image resizing, do it with PIXresizer
JavaScript Form Validation - JavaScript Form Validation : quick and easy!
WAVE is a free web accessibility evaluation tool- WAVE - Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool
...

..the list can carry on if others think it may be of use.

I've moved this thread and made it a sticky as it doesn't fit into the Worst Site Thread.

First post would ideally get edited to include books people think are useful ...

I've added it here as its a pretty broad topic and as people come across things they could be added here ... ecommerce / html / books ..
