Maintainable JavaScript  There are three main sections here: "Style Guidelines" (e.g. spaces or tabs, naming conventions), "Programming Practices" (keep JavaScript out of CSS, keep CSS out of JavaScript, etc.), and "Automation" (he's in favor of it).

Maintainable JavaScript 

In each section, Zakas recommends best practices, always providing thoughtful arguments for and against his recommendations and good alternatives to them. With his advice, judiciously employed, I've begun to square myself away, and although this hasn't made me a rock-star, it has increased my productivity and decreased my stress-level, and with a good set of standard practices building up I can spend more energy improving my programming skills rather than struggling with my work flow.

Mr. The only criticism I have of the book is the singular use of Ant to describe automating build tools, a choice that makes the "Automation" section of the book less widely applicable, and mostly uninteresting to me, at least for the time being. Mr. Programming PHP  Programming PHP is a useful book for those who are relatively new to the language.

Programming PHP 

The book is targeted at both programmers and web designers. It is not just on coding, but also describes some of the broader setting, like the history of the language and the setting of your programs in server environments and its use of various types of technologies. It is useful for people who use various platforms, like Windows and Unix.

I like the chapter on security. Fortunately, nowadays programmers learn more and more to do coding with security in mind. An alphabetic Listing of PHP Functions is included at the end of the book.
