javascript/ajax with (most) hobo apps tends to be somewhat minimal as hobo can handle much of your standard ajax stuff. So, unless your client requires some crazy amount of ajax interaction, you can probably get by just looking up what you need as you run into it.
CSS is a bit more important if you're having to do the styling/design all yourself as there isn't a replacement for understanding how it works unless you can shamelessly copy from someone else. :D Best is when client has a design already so then you can shamelessly copy it without any potential problems. Can't really recommend a book on CSS as I got all my knowledge from practice and internet.
