Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

JavaScript / JSP / Web Design books.

    I've been working in Software Development for the last nine years and am in the job market again.
    In that time I worked in one company. Their website was fairly basic, certainly not cutting edge. As a result, certain skills of mine are not up-to-scratch, namely JavaScript / JSP / Web Design.

    I will need to read up on these in advance of interviews etc, get my skills up and in tune with jargon.

    Can any posters recommend good JavaScript / JSP / Web Design books for me?
    I would regard myself as a good software engineer but not a nerd. I do my job good at work but I don't stay beyond the standard day, and don't think about IT and code at home. I don't have my own website and I use the default "look" on Chrome, gmail, etc. For me, software development is a job not a vocation. Computers are tools not toys.

    Note, I give the previous paragraph as an indication of where I am technically. I know about software, but I don't talk in bits and bites.

    Thanks.

    I found the Missing Manual for Javascript & JQuery to be a fairly good introduction. It's got tutorials at the end of every chapter that are pretty decent for getting your head around the concepts and seeing the possibilities with the language and framework.
