I am the "business guy" involved in a young internet startup (much of the coding is in php). My tech knowledge is fairly limited. While I am never going to be a developer, I would like to gain a better understanding of at least the basics of the tech side. Any books/reading that people out there would recommend?

Thanks.

>basics of the tech side

This is a very vague target.

Do you want basics on web development? networking? computer science? programming language? managing softwares? databases description? survey of computer science?

Basics on web development, yes. I was just given a book on php and sql, which hopefully will help since both are involved in the project. Thanks.

"Code" by Charles Petzold is a wonderful book about how computers work and it covers pretty much everything but in a way that is accessible to anyone who understand basic algebra.
