Now that I’m in the wonderful position of working for myself, a goal for this coming year is to finally spend more time learning front end development. I’m focusing mostly on the usual suspects: CSS, HTML and javascript.
I’d like to buy 2 or 3 great books on the subject and I’d love to hear from some experts — what titles would you recommend?

No books on CSS & Javascript, but a must-read for any front-end developer is High Performance Websites by Steve Souders. Awesome awesome book

I’d recommend Five Simple Steps (fivesimplesteps.co.uk) as a good start for general inspiration. Not very technical though.

I’m no expert, but… +1 for Handcrafted CSS. Also, I’ve heard good things about “jQuery in Action” … 2nd ed. comes out in March.

It’s not an HTML/CSS book, but Designing the Obvious, by rhjr, is good. Also, The Humane Interface, by Raskin.
