I am not a programmer, but I have been working in the software development space for the last year. I am interested in devoting some of my "free reading" time to developing my technical skills. I took classes in Basic, Fortran and Pascal 20 years ago, but that is the extent of my formal training. I think I would like to start learning about the coding languages we are using for the project I am working on and wonder if anyone can recommend some reading.
My guess is that I can handle either 50,000 foot overview/theory material or manual type material if its not so dry as to be unreadable. The areas I want to learn about include:
Java script
Jnode
JQuery
SQL
Server structure/architecture
Cloud architecture
Drupal
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks!

Where are you wanting to direct your mental fire hose after your absorption? Might drive the intellectual spongification....

My motivation is to develop the tools to understand the advantages and limitations of different tools and be able to think about potential breakdown points, bottle-necks, and incremental costs associated with our software products.

Just my 2 cents but the majority of the afore mentioned thoughts tend to lean towards hardware instead of software related IMHO. Might want to pick up a few digital engineerig books :)

Our solution is SaS, web based with companion mobile application. Its all cloud server based on the functional side. I guess your point is well taken from an internet traffic perspective. I could devote some effort into understanding the nuts and bolts of that...
