If you can convince someone at work to invest in dead tree doco, have a look at Rapid Development by Steve McConnell for project best practices. (His Code Complete 2 is an excellent guide for programmers too). And if you still have money in the kitty, check Under Pressure and on Time (no, I don't work for Microsoft Press ... these are all really good books!)

    I'll second that. Under Pressure was a very good book.

    Code Complete should be required reading for every single programmer, regardless of how long they've been at it.

    I've been programming for 20+ years and still found CC to be a great book. A lot of good tips/suggestions/reasoning in there, and very good explanation as to why those recommendations are what they are.

    It doesn't need to be followed to the letter, but there are some major Best Practices in there, allowing you to choose and follows the ones best suited for you and your organization.

    I read the original and actually would like to go back and read CC2 now, just to 1) Get some more info and 2) see what new changes are in it.

      Under Pressure is out of print now I think but you can still buy it used on Amazon for super cheap. I thought it was definitely worth my time spent reading it.

      The poster actually did, just without links
      2. Company Programming guidelines - (based on the perl best pactices book)
      But it is definitely a good book and the links to it are good things.
