DAILY: My favorite technical books
I highly recommend all of these books.
Essential ActionScript 3.0 – Colin Moock
Head First PHP & MySQL - 
Programming Flex 3 – Chafic Kazoun and Joey Lott
Adobe Flex 3 Training from the Source - Jeff Tapper, Michael Labriola, Matthew Boles, James Talbot
PHP 6 and MySQL 5 for Dynamic Web Sites: Visual QuickPro Guide - Larry Ullman
Scott Kelby’s 7-Point System for Adobe Photoshop CS3
The Adobe Photoshop CS4 Book for Digital Photographers – Scott Kelby
The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book for Digital Photographers
Presentation Zen: Simple Ideas on Presentation Design and Delivery – Garr Reynolds
UPDATE:
I have to add another book to the list. This one was written by two very good friends of mine: Greg Rewis and Stephanie Sullivan. Though I haven’t read it yet because they haven’t sent me a copy (*ahem*) I know it has to be an excellent resource for anyone working with CSS. Greg taught me almost everything I know about Evangelism as he and I have traveled all over the world together since 2000 talking about Dreamweaver, Flash, AIR, and other Macromedia/Adobe tools. He knows more about Dreamweaver than anybody I know. Stef is an expert in all things CSS, HTML, web standards, etc.

Mike, I heartily agree with you on “Learning ActionScript 3.0.” Without a doubt the best ActionScript book I’ve ever read. Essential ActionScript 3 made my head hurt. But I’ll get there. Thanks. I’m going to check out the rest of these books as I learn more.

One thorn of ugg lo pro button experience is worth a whole wilderness of warning. Practical wisdom is only to be learned in the ugg knightsbridge school of ugg boots experience. ugg bailey button life is the art of ugg classic cardy drawing sufficient conclusions from insufficient premises.
