Definitely not. The 24-hour/etc. books are excellent. In fact, I hate the traditional development books with pictures of completely unrelated crap on the cover or part of a massive series like "...in a nutshell."

I really want a book that descipes the benefits of object oriented programming and explains how to use it correctly. Anyone know of any books that do this?

Specifically to PHP (which has a horrible OOP model) or any language (I suggest Java)?

I read "Thinking in Java", but actually I rarely read book, I just keep practice, most of the time I code in Java from core to J2EE plaform, from there OOP became so easy. but that book, "Thinking in Java" will really help you have an OOP mind.

Thanks for reccomendation, I will look into that. When it comes to learning stuff, I like to read about it untill the point where I have a general understanding than I practice what I read and try to solve any problems I encounter on my own. It really helps in the entire learning cycle. for me atleast.

Also you should try Object-Oriented Design in Java which by SAMS as filburt1 said. Java is great, I really love it.

5.) Advanced Mysql

I think thats it. Any reccomendation would be great.

On the CSS side, get Eric Meyer's CSS books (that's a no brainer). The HTML Guild's school used to have Meyer's teaching the advance CSS class too (it may still).

If you don't want to throw $$$ out on some books, get a subscription to the Safari Bookshelf. For $20/mon you can check out 10 books a month. It's a good way to check out these programming books, and then pay later for the ones you know you'd like as reference works. Some writing styles that some like may not be to your liking -- with the tomes going for over $30 and living at the local Barnes & Noble isn't an option, Safari might be a better bet (no lemons -- you get to read the book cover to cover).

What about books on mySQL 5? I've heard that there are some significant changes. Is it worth getting a book? Or will reading the manual do?

I thought MySQL 5 is still alpha, which not only makes it pointless to learn, but impossible to find a book.
