How To Be A Programmer
I've started reading How To Be A Programmer (pdf), a forty page "short, comprehensive, and personal summary". It gets early bonus points for mentioning Code Complete, a book which literally changed my coding habits from night to day (for archivists, compare AmphetaDesk v0.92 to complete rewrite v0.93). Code Complete, I'd recommend to everyone. Jury's still out on the PDF, but my initial impression is "good".
