The best way to build sites is using Open Source tools like Apache and Perl. The book opens with one of the best arguments in favour of Open Source software that I've read for some time.

PHP and MYSQL Web Development
The web developer's Bible. PHP and MySQL Web Development introduces readers (who are assumed to have little or no experience with the title subjects) to PHP and MySQL for the purpose of creating dynamic Internet sites. It teaches the same skills as introductory Active Server Pages (ASP) and ColdFusion books--technologies which address the same niche.

Wireless Web Development with PHP and WAP
As Web accessibility through wireless devices becomes increasingly popular, developers are challenged to maintain the high level of interactivity and flexibility that users are accustomed to on their PCs. Fortunately, the language tools used to create conventional Web pages can also be implemented in the wireless arena. Rischpater's Wireless Web Development with PHP and WAP is a comprehensive guide to doing exactly this, illustrating how one of the Web's most popular scripting languages, PHP, can be used alongside the wireless Web's standard languages, namely WML and WMLScript, to create truly dynamic and powerful wireless applications.

The PERL Journal
The online magazine for CGI developers - try it out, it's great. Founded in 1996 by Jon Orwant, The Perl Journal has been the leading publication for and about Perl programming.
