Over the years as a engineer i have read a lot of books related to software development, architecture and what I would call the soft values regarding the delivering quality software. My thoughts on the books are my own and you should take them with a grain of salt... as with anything strangers say on the internet.
There are also a few books that people have recommended to me that I haven't gotten around to reading yet.
These books focus on writing clean, maintainable code and the principles of software craftsmanship. As with most things I dont belive that there is a single right way to do things, but these books provide solid guidelines and thoughts that can be reflected upon.
