web design

sup /prog/

I'm getting back into web design after a few years out of the game (tables....tables everywhere)

what's some good reading material for best practices and conventions? seems like all the stuff online is either old or just patently wrong (w3schools)

I've been focusing on code-centric design, as opposed to PSD-centric, but should I be doing PSD?

yeah, I guess I thought I'd master HTML/CSS first but

says I should learn js, php and sql first

these are likely not going to be data driven sites, at least that wasn't my first audience. I was thinking medical offices like dentists and optometrists, restaurants, mechanics and such, places that wouldn't necessarily change (or would only be making small specific changes).
