……用一门简单的语言理解编程概念，可以试试《Tcl for Web Nerds》（http://philip.greenspun.com/tcl/）——90 年代末很多 Web 开发者就是靠它入门练手的。至于数据库方面的内容，去看看《SQL for Web Nerds》（http://philip.greenspun.com/sql/）。
…programming concepts in a simple language, try "Tcl for Web Nerds" (http://philip.greenspun.com/tcl/) -- it's what many Web developers cut their teeth on in the late 90s. For database stuff, check out "SQL for Web Nerds" (http://philip.greenspun.com/sql/).
《SQL for Web Nerds》是学习 SQL 的绝佳资源。http://philip.greenspun.com/sql/ 如果你的数据模型是建立在 RDBMS 之上的，搞清楚它的底层原理是设计出好数据模型的第一步！
SQL For Web Nerds is a terrific resource for learning SQL. http://philip.greenspun.com/sql/ If your data model is built on top of an RDBMS, learning how one works is the best first step to designing good data models!
……在你开始瞎折腾像 Rails Active Record 或 SQLAlchemy 这类 ORM 之前，先搞懂 SQL 和 DDL。[1] http://www.amazon.com/Joe-Celkos-SQL-Smarties-Fourth/dp/0123... 另外，也许现在直接去读《SQL for Web Nerds》就行，但要有甄别地看，而且先别管 Oracle。书虽然老但写得真好……http://philip.greenspun.com/sql/
…SQL and DDL before you start messing with ORMs like Rails Active Record or SQLAlchemy and all that stuff. [1] http://www.amazon.com/Joe-Celkos-SQL-Smarties-Fourth/dp/0123...

……Perl，写得非常好。我是通过几乎从头到尾精读 Eric Meyer 的 O'Reilly 书以及 Dan Cederholm 的书学会 CSS 的。我的 SQL（还有 Tcl）是从 Greenspun 的书（比如《SQL for Web Nerds》）里学的，那些书其实算不上严肃古板的专门 SQL 教程，但在某种程度上反而有用得多。当然了，我就是那种小时候觉得 BASIC 没劲就自学 Pascal 的人。所以我读了……
…Perl, which was very good. I learned CSS by reading Eric Meyer's O'Reilly book, pretty much cover to cover, as well as Dan Cederholm's book. I learned SQL (and Tcl as well) from Greenspun's books (e.g. SQL for Web Nerds) which weren't really dedicated and pedantic SQL tutorials but were, in a way, much more useful. Of course, I'm the guy who got bored with BASIC as a kid and decided to teach himself Pascal. So I read…
……树状结构，这里有一篇 Phil Greenspun 写的好文章，展示了如何用 RDBMS 建模和查询树状数据结构：http://philip.greenspun.com/sql/trees.html（《SQL for Web Nerds》文档的其余部分也是相当不错的好东西：http://philip.greenspun.com/sql ），他使用的是“connect by”，这是 Oracle 的非标准扩展，同样的事情也可以用标准的“with recursive”查询来实现……

……学了 CSS、JS 和 Python 却依然觉得自己不懂 Web 编程的原因是，这些东西没一个是数据库。数据库才是 Web 编程的核心大头。其他一切都只是表面糖霜。去看看《SQL for Web Nerds》吧：http://philip.greenspun.com/sql/。它确实越来越老旧过时了，有一半的链接都失效了，而且你也不会真想去用 Oracle（换成 Postgres 吧，或者随大流……
…CSS, JS, and Python and still do not feel that you know web programming is that none of those things is a database. The database is the important part of web programming. Everything else is frosting. Try SQL for Web Nerds: http://philip.greenspun.com/sql/ It's getting more dated by the second, half the links are broken, and you will not want to actually use Oracle (try Postgres instead, or do what everyone else does…
