Wrox books are the best that you can get hold of if you want good practical advice mixed with quality. There are many programmers who have learned how to use advanced programming methods to produce applications for the desktop and for the many servers that run the web.

What more do you have to say than the word O'Reilly ? All of O'Reilly books are of the highest quality. Everyone who uses a computer and some who don't know about their books and the reputation that they have. Unlike the Wrox series they can be more theoretical or perhaps less practical. Although, some of them are just as practical in their content as the Wrox books. I know a lot of people who go down to Blackwell's at West Street just to look at these books so that they can decide what to buy next.
