Every Tool's a Hammer

100% agree on every tool, it's one of the best project planning and management books I've read.

Not specifically about programming, but "Every Tool's a Hammer" by Adam Savage was really good. Tons of good information in here, and it tickles the Mythbusters itch. Are you looking for books about a programming language? or about methodologies, patters, best practices, etc. As far as about specific programming languages, personally I think the internet is a far better resource. Books are better for the "Soft"er skills (communication, design, etc) Here are a few I've enjoyed: * The Phoenix Project * Accelerate * Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World * Rework Finally, if you've never read "How to win Friends & Influence people", do it now! I'm 34 and for whatever reason put off reading this until last month. I wish I had read that book 10 years ago. I'll definitely be adding it to my re-read list as there is a TON of good advice for building relationships, which is arguably more important than many technical things.
