Hey @jazzgnat, a great beginners to intermediate book for CSS is this one: CSS: The Missing Manuals. They also have a javascript book but it focuses more on jquery then raw javascript.

You could pay $25 a month and sign up to Treehouse. It’s pay as you go so you could just do it for a month between semesters. Lynda.com also has some great courses for javascript. It’s also $25 a month. Those are both definitely worthwhile investments in my opinion, especially when compared with the cost of schooling these days!

Hope that helps,

John
