Please be sure to check the General Tools section, in addition to the sections
for specific topics.
This is a very large set of resources. I suggest that you look at the broad outline of the
Table of Contents. The organization is:
General Tools
Client-side programming (XHTML, CSS, JavaScript and the DOM, page and site design)
Server-side Programming (Perl, PHP, etc.)
XML (XML, XSL, Xpath , RSS, etc), Web Services (SOA, SOAP, WSDL, UDDI) and
Web2.0 (AJAX, mashups, semantic web)
You will notice that each of these broad topics is broken down into sections, and
each section is organized as Documentation and Books, Tutorials and Articles,
Links and Other Resources.
I also find it very useful to use ctl–f to find specific topics.
