What book(s) do you recommend, for learning about web pages construction, nomenclatures, etc., that is straight forward?  If any!

    I'm a big fan of David McFarland's Dreameaver CS5, The Missing Manual (O'Reilly).  I'm also a huge fan of any of David Powers' books (Friends of Ed), but they are more advanced that just the basic stuff....

    I second the Missing Manual book, and I also bought Sam's Teach Yourself CSS in 10 Minutes (yeah, right) by Russ Weakley, and Jeremy Osborne's Digital Classroom.  I also have Louise Warner's Teach Yourself  CS5 Visually, but the book only touches on a wide variety of subjects.  It's not a 'real' reference book per se,  although I do like the picture layout.  Finally I have the Learn by Video series by Candyce Mairs.  She takes a stock template and changes it into a website for bicycles.  Unfortunately, I didn't want to use a template, but it was helpful in others way as she also goes over making a tabbed panel.

    A book that I found helpful, but isn't directly about coding, is Building Findable Websites.  I wish that I had come accross it a couple of years ago.  http://buildingfindablewebsites.com/

     

    I've also found David Powers' book really good.  It certainly is comprehensive.

     

    With CSS, I enjoy reading Dan Cederholm and Eric Meyer.

    Not a book recommendation, but an excellent on-line resource for learning terminology:
