: What are some great resources or books for learning about running a website? You've just inherited the webmaster position but know little about the day-to-day operation of a website. What books

While technically a site for Web Devs & Designers they keep things at a high level making for a very good resource for keeping up with technology trends and style.

You cannot go wrong with O'Reilly's books, especially


Webmaster in Nutshell
Whole pile of their webdev selection (but not all at one go ;) )
For apache the documentation as with any webserver.


And one of the best ways is to really run a webserver, you'll learn while experimenting with it.

Here's my hitlist...


sitepoint.com
alistapart.com
This Site
w3schools.com
htmldog.com


Sitepoint is probably the closest online resource to what you're looking for.

AListApart is geared more toward style and best practices but it also has a lot of articles about general website management, bleeding edge web technologies, and how to prepare for them.

This site... Obligatory.

The last two aren't specifically geared toward webmasters but, if your webmaster position has anything to do with writing/modifying code on the site you'll wish you had them.

I like O'Reilly Books very much so I'll recomend:


Apache Cookbook
Apache Security
Some more generic reference book such as The Definitive Guide or Pocket Reference
