You don't need school to learn how to do that. It's true for most things in life but it is even easier with computer science.

Want to learn C ? No school will ever teach it better than the book The C Programming Language (also called K&R) by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie.
Want to learn C++ ? You should start with C or C# or Java and then go for Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++ by Bjarne Stroustrup.
Want to learn Python ? Go to python.org and pick a tutorial.
Want to learn Javascript ? Eloquent JavaScript by Marijn Haverbeke.
Want to learn HTML5 ? Maybe have a look at diveintohtml5.info or W3Schools
Want to learn Java ? The Java Programming Language by Ken Arnold or Head First Java by Kathy Sierra.

You need two things, time and will. You'd be surprise how easy it is to learn all those things if you like it and if you have a dream project.

edit: Woh, thanks for the gold. :D

If you're interested for your own interest and not for college, I'd recommend starting with books written for a general audience like

The Cartoon Introduction to Economics

Freakonomics

The Armchair Economist

Spin Free Economics

Lastly, Lives of the Laureates offers biographical accounts of 23 Nobel Laureates in Economics. I find it interesting since it offers insights into the minds of the Laureates, their intellectual process, and some of the most important contributions within the economics community.

I also often recommend Economics in the Afterlife to people since it shows that economists have no shame and economics can really be applied to anything.

You could probably find PDFs online of some of these books if you were so inclined.

Well the number one rule is to try to touch the html/css as little as possible. Store references to html nodes, pull nodes out of layout if you're going to modify them heavily, use timeouts if you have a long running operation, use requestanimationframe for dom manipulation, etc.

There are more, but those are the big ones off the top of my head. You want to STAY in the javascript space as much as possible.

There are some great articles about making the javascript itself performant, but I found this very short book to be really helpful: http://www.amazon.com/Performance-JavaScript-Faster-Application-Interfaces/dp/059680279X

It's a couple years old but absolutely still relevant.

Dr Kilpatrick's book is great at simplifying reading disabilities. His PASS screener is also awesome and I'd highly recommend using it in conjunction with the CTOP for phonological assessment. If you want more info just PM me.

Yes I have read that article several times; your point simply solidifies my arguements. Have you read about the multiple agreements between Britain and the Arab states in WW1? You cannot simply start reading about WW2, the effects of it afterwards (Jewish displacements, state of Israel) without knowing what went on in WW1.

Read this and get back to me as it explains very clearly the effects this has today.

Another great optimistic outlook is Steven Pinker's new book, [Enlightenment Now](https://www.amazon.com/Enlightenment-Now-Science-Humanism-Progress/dp/0525427570)

If you wanna get serious Rikky Rooksby has a ton of books on songwriting and music for various instruments. Check out all the related books on amazon.

He gets into the theory of why chord progressions and melodies work and how to create compositionally strong music with a contemporary focus.

Try "A Short Stay in Hell". Based on the same premise but I liked it more than Borges' story.

The actual link OWASP Top 10 2013. This list is in the process of being updated so the information isn't exactly accurate anymore.

For more in depth reading I'd suggest The Web Application Hacker's Handbook. Also check out /r/netsec for a good discussion platform.

good news! that's a thing that exists and can be bought right here.

Got the idea from this book, http://www.amazon.com/The-Book-Questions-Revised-Updated/dp/0761177310 one of my favorites for thought provoking questions, it's worth a checkout at the library.

I put in 'From A buick 8' - Stephen King and got Nobody True by James Hebert (http://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/033052206X/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1381258100&sr=1-1&pi=AC_SX110_SY165). Which I will be very much looking forward too.

I did however get a Dr. Suess book as the 3rd recommendation lol. Just fucked.

You'll be needing this: http://www.amazon.com/How-Write-Hit-Song-Marketing/dp/0881888818

This has already been done in book form: https://www.amazon.com/Foundations-Analysis-AMS-Chelsea-Publishing/dp/082182693X

Sure.

So I'm the author of "Meaningful Use & Beyond" which is on that site. It is definitely not licensed to be distributed there. Looks to me like someone just downloaded a lot of books from O'Reilly's Safari and loaded them on that site.

I get that maybe you're dirt poor and you can't afford a lot of books but if you can afford them think about signing up for O'Reillys safari service where you can get a lot of books a month for very little money.

If nothing else please buy the latest edition of my book: "Hacking Healthcare" http://www.amazon.com/Hacking-Healthcare-Standards-Workflows-Meaningful/dp/1449305024
Hacking Healthcare at Amazon If you buy 5 then I can afford a beer to have with dinner tonight. PS: Kids, don't become an author for the money.
