111. Building Accesible websites
by Joe Clark
“Not merely the best and most complete book yet penned on the subject of Web accessibility, Joe Clark’s Building Accessible Websites is also among the most compellingly-written Web-design books ever: Witty, opinionated, and truthful…. We devoured Clark’s book from cover to cover as if it were the latest James Ellroy novel or a recently-unearthed Raymond Chandler. Then we read it again. Not only will you learn everything you need to know from this book, but you can actually read it for pleasure”

113. jQuery Fundamentals
by Rebecca Murphey
“jQuery is fast becoming a must-have skill for front-end developers. The purpose of this book is to provide an overview of the jQuery JavaScript library; when you’re done with the book, you should be able to complete basic tasks using jQuery, and have a solid basis from which to continue your learning. This book was designed as material to be used in a classroom setting, but you may find it useful for individual study.
This is a hands-on class. We will spend a bit of time covering a concept, and then you’ll have the chance to work on an exercise related to the concept. Some of the exercises may seem trivial; others may be downright daunting. In either case, there is no grade; the goal is simply to get you comfortable working your way through problems you’ll commonly be called upon to solve using jQuery. Example solutions to all of the exercises are included in the sample code.”
