A list of books I read back in the day. The original purpose was for potential clients to find more about my background, so that influenced which titles were included. Now archiving it here, to make it easier to delete from my other site that is undergoing spring cleaning. Outdated and incomplete, but the list reminds me of how far I’ve come since I started learning CSS in 2006:
