What are the most recommended web development books? I'm interested in picking up a book on JS, ASP.NET, PHP, Desktop Languages(c#, c++ etc.). I'm looking for something that is not only descriptive and very helpful with explanations and is enjoyable to read(meaning maybe they joke around a bit or something to make it not so boring and aggravating where I just want to throw it out the window then go and drive over it). Well, what books would you recommend?
I wouldn't recommend books. It is easier by watching tutorials from YouTube or anywhere else.
I learned VB.net and C# from YouTube tutorials.
The only programming book I ever bought was
this and it's great. I would suggest any Head First books because they fit your requirements perfectly.
I would recommend any of the "Sam's teach yourself" range
Any of the "For Dummies" books are good.

I absolutely hated the first one of those
I stood in Barnes & Noble reading a bit here and there and I just hated the whole layout of the book.
Get anything Wiley. I learned most of what i know from Wiley books. They are the abosolute best brand of books you can buy. In my opinion. I haven't tried them for outside markup, but i'd assume their structure is the same. I just loved the structure of them.
