I am very fond of the Pragmatic Programmers. I have read several of their books. Especially the “Pragmatic Programmer” collects a whole lot of wisdom concerning application building. Many sound principles trancends the coming and going of languages, tools and api’s. These principles can make a firm foundation for our day-to-day work and so we can avoid loosing our hair (some have lost it anyway). It is better to be driven by thought-out principles that has formed to habits, than by coincidence. Put everything under version control, take responsibility for your work and career, learn one editor and stick to it, automate as much as you can, keep documentation close to the code, keep on testing early to name a few. Read it!
