Title: HTML for the World Wide Web with XHTML and CSS: Visual QuickStart Guide, Fifth Edition Publisher: Peachpit Press Authors: Elizabeth Castro Rating: 5/5 Found HTML 4: Visual Quickstart Guide to be an excellent source to brush up on my HTML basics.

Title: The Code Book: The Science of Secrecy from Ancient Egypt to Quantum Cryptography Publisher: Anchor Authors: SIMON SINGH Rating: 5/5 A very well written book on a fascinating subject. I've read a lot of books on cryptography, particularly the historical aspects of the subject. This is by far the best one. All the others either skim over the details of how each cypher works, or ignore it all together. Not Singh! Wonderful details very well explained. Whether you have a good math background or not, you'll find it interesting.

Title: Essential XML Quick Reference: A Programmer's Reference to XML, XPath, XSLT, XML Schema, SOAP, and More Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional Authors: Aaron Skonnard, Martin Gudgin Rating: 5/5 This isn't a "textbook" of xml -- if you want a guided introductory tutorial, look elsewhere. But if you're anything like me, once you've got past the intro stage, you need a good memory-jogger and "explain-that-to-me-quick-just-one-more-time" resource at your side while you're working on a project. That's what this book provides, and it does it brilliantly, insightfully, and without the endless, distracting and generally useless drivel of many xml books. The explanations unfailingly come right to the point, and it's rich with short, helpful examples. It's obvious the authors have really developed in the real world! There is no book on my xml shelf that gets more use (and collects less dust) than this one. Buy it and you'll be glad you did. (I'm on my second copy!)
