This year I read "Clean Coder" by Robert Martin and "The Software Craftsman: Professionalism, Pragmatism, Pride" by Sandro Mancuso. They were both excellent and I recommend them to any programmer who wants to improve his or her Engineering professionalism and craft. Don't be a "coder," be a professional Software Engineer. Take pride in your work, do your best work possible, and stand up to insane, unrealistic management.
