I’m looking for books that may offer an overview or defined details on best practices relating to front-end development and it’s particular languages. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Check out the classic by Zeldman, Designing with Web Standards, 3rd ed. Also look at its ‘sister’ book, by Allsopp, called [URL=“http://readableweb.com/developing-with-web-standards-by-john-allsopp-2/”]Developing with Web Standards. I haven’t read that one, but would like to. Both writers are industry leaders and well respected.

Ralph’s suggestions are excellent.
