I'm looking to buy some books related to web design/developement. Anyone have any suggestions of books they own/know are good? I'm looking for books in the following areas:

Flash 8 and Actionscript 2.

PHP : More intermediate - advanced stuff. Looking for info on OOP in particular.

ASP.net : Need a beginner to advanced book

MySQL/other database books.

CSS : more so somthing with cool tips and tricks in it.

Thats about it I guess. If anyone knows of good books to get that I might have left out, suggest them, please!

my personal opinion?

I would go with Flash 8 and Actionscript 2, because that is what i know least about. I am fairly fluent in all of the other If you dont know any, I would suggest PHP, just because its so versitile, gets kind boring though, get ready for some long night, lol

Thanks kiraz,

I'm looking for book titles in all of the areas I mentioned. I know all except ASP, which I wish to learn. The rest I just want to get better in and have some reference material thats not online.

well ive got 3 books I found at a half price books for like 5 bucks each.. One is call 'Inside Flash' by Jody Keating( ive never touched it). Another is call 'Teach Youtself PHP MySQL and Apache in 24 Hours' by Julie C. Melonie. That one was very helpful. I set up my server and my first website using it. ANd this one is absolutly great, its called 'PHP4 Devlopers Guide' by Blake Schewendiman. I learned almost everything I know about PHP from this. Its awesome., but im sure you would want an updatd verson. Hope this helped.
