General Programming
The deeper I get into my career, the more I realize the importance of general programming knowledge. Since I’m not an academically trained programmer (my degree is in Digital Media), I’m learning this stuff as I go. I owe a great deal to the authors of these books as they have caused me to grow immensly over the years.

JavaScript
