> Code Complete by Steve McConnell +1. Also, Rapid Development, by McConnell[0]. I would say that it's even better than Code Complete. It would be considered "quaint," these days, but Writing Solid Code[1], by Steve Maguire, was a seminal book in my education. I still use many of the techniques he mentioned. And I cannot say enough about The Design of Everyday Things, by Don Norman[2]. That book changed my life. I would consider it required reading, for anyone that develops anything that will be used by other humans. [0] https://www.microsoftpressstore.com/store/rapid-development-...
