This is a reading list that I used to keep on my laptop, so I could recommend books I'd read to people who were interested. Putting it online makes it easier to share and harder to lose (hopefully!).

The market for talented developers in the United Kingdom (and in many talent-lite communities around the world) is such that anyone who merely knows what they are doing has a very good chance of getting a job. Even a job contracting (which ordinarily has senior-level requirements).
To become a web developer with a good salary and employment expectations you need skills. Below I’ll provide a plan to get you towards the top of the largest market: PHP Web Development.
