Recommend a book on web application design

[bissatch]

Hi,

I am looking for recommendations on a book or books on web application
design. It does have to be any language specific or platform.
Preferably neither as Im round the other side of the planet from my PC
and hoping to read up on somethig more along the lines of design
principal rather than implementation.

I have a firm understanding of client side technologies, server side
and storage (db, xml) technologies but want to create better
applications from the ground up as I am mainly used to building
smaller web apps where strict design planning is not quite as
important. An example of something that I would like to learn more
about is the multitier architecture (presentation, logic, data) with
respect to web apps. Other areas on security issues would be nice but
I uderstand that this may be different for each technology.

Anyway, apologies if this appears to be in the wrong group but I
figured that there would be many experienced application developers
here who may be able to help me out. Thanks

This is a good post ... I haven't found such a book, but would read it
if I did. If I could recommend one thing in web app design it would
be to make a separate class library for your data access layer and
business object layer.
