lol? On the PHP section there isn’t the PHP Zend Certification study guide?? This is by far one of the best books I ever read for PHP both the ZCE PHP 4 and ZCE PHP 5!

Good list, quite comprehensive. Of course, the title is a bit overstated, but well, that’s the kind of provocative title bringing attention… :-)

One thing you missed: VCS (or SCM if you prefer). For example, for latest version of Bazaar: http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/downloads/pdf-en/ For Mercurial, their PDF book is quite prominently advertised in their home page. I am sure there are good Subversion books, and perhaps for Git too. And so on.
(D)VCS are critical tools for developers, you should cover this topic too.

Thanks for the tweet!!!
I will try to add as many books as possible in the list. I added more than 6 books since yesterday that users pointed out to me. The list will be constantly updated. Come back later and you might find the book you wanted.
