Good Programing Books. (Looking for suggestions) (Web Dev)

[rover2341]

I am moving my focus to asp.net and any Web Development.
Here is a list of books I am considering picking from. http://amzn.com/w/1L7B2XR3Q8LKN

I looked up 100 programming jobs for asp.net. And I wrote down all the skills they requested. And then started making a wish alist of books i think that could be helpful. I am finished a html/css book.

and ordered a JavaScript book. and am reading Beginning ASP.Net 4.5 in c#.
I think ill move from there to asp.net mvc.

I have some experience in asp.net from work, but no formal knowledge, just picking up what i needed as I went. I know I need more practice then just reading some text books, but I think it will help. My goal is in 18 months cover as many topics as i can, and to do some sample projects.

It doesn't have to be asp.net as many of the requirements are to know scripting languages, and other web skills. Any Suggestions?

Any Suggestions?

I see one book on REST services, I would highly recommend those + xml/wsdl schemas and templates

Thanks. I will have to find out what a wsdl schema is

I also use soapUI a lot, I don't know if it's really worth getting a book for it, but learning how to use it (to test your web services) or an alternative program would be good (but the free version of soapUI is pretty good...)
