The book which I'm actually enjoying the most is "Code Complete" by Steve McConnell. It is subtitled "A Practical Handbook of Software Construction". I am a self taught developer. As such, I missed out on a lot of the "best practise" methodologies that have been proven to assist in helping a developer play well with others. The book covers no particular language, but gives you an understanding on how to write software. A second edition is now available - http://www.cc2e.com / http://onlinepriceguide.co.uk/v2/book_comparison.php?code=0735619670&title=Code+Complete&author=Steven+C+McConnell (for a UK price comparison list).
