The longer you are involved in web design, the more involved
you get with "back end" issues. The more involved you get
with "back end" issues, the more you want books published
by O'Reilly & Associates. 

I don't know how they do it, but their books are uniformly good. 
The authors are experts on the subject, but the books read like 
they were written by someone who is an expert in writing. They 
are organized, easy to follow, and have superior indexing, so you
can find stuff later when you need it.

When I grow up, I'm going to build a room in my house that's solid
bookshelves, and will automatically buy every title as O'Reilly 
publishes it. Of course, my wife doubts I am ever going to grow up....
