Guide and Resources on Modern Web Development
I was wondering if you guys here could point me in the direction of some good guides,books,tutorials or resources regarding modern day large scale web application development.

I have some experience creating very small scale websites and playing around with wordpress.
My limited knowledge base includes.

 - HTML
 - CSS
 - Basic Javascript
 - jQuery
 - PHP

Although I know how to use these tools I have never been able to put them together very well and streamlined in a large project.

Particularly I would like information on how to build a web application that will

 - Have scalabilty
 - Maintain good performance and reliability
 - Make it easy to add in new features (modular design?)

I found this presentation 
http://www.slideshare.net/nzakas/scalable-javascript-application-architecture 

and it hit on some of the points I wanted to learn. I would like more info that builds on that.

I am open to learning new languages if that is needed and working with any sort of good frameworks out there.

Any help is appreciated! Thank You!
