A book list for Web Designers and Front End Developers, one must read to keep your knowledge aligned with current standard of emerging web technology.
What is your preffered reading method? Reading on screen or reading printed books? I often choose printed books to read. Laying down on ground somewhere in park (or you may choose bed) and turning pages over, reading, makes more enjoyable (than just makign eyes bigger with tears looking at screen) – only possible if you choose to read printed books.
Web industry is such a emerging field where last things goes (usually, not always) too obsolete and if you dont keep yourself upto date with current standards, it shows there is a high possibility that your competitor will left you behind and steal more clients.
So, what takes it to be updated, well said staying upto date with current web standards and new technologies?
