The Web Professional's Handbook
I was just talking about trying to get a list together of things that a web-developer should know, so I can train some new people, and today I find this in my Webreference Update Newsletter.
BOOK EXCERPT: The Web Professional's Handbook, Pt. 1
It looks like about 70% of what I wanted to do already done! Great! Less work for me. It looks like it gives more information that I want, since I would want the people I train to learn how to find the info themselves, but the outline is nice.
