Clean Code - Robert C. Martin

I don't tend to read a ton of books that pertain to my profession. In the software development field, technology moves along at such a fast pace that most tech books are outdated almost before they hit the shelves. The books I do enjoy in this genre are those that espouse some theory, techniques or ideas that are timeless and are applicable despite the technology. This is one of those such books. Every developer should read this one. Most of the concepts inside are common sense ideas, but ones that you may not realize are important. Definitely one that will gain a space on my shelf and which I shall refer back to from time to time as a refresher or to clarify some position. Great stuff, if you develop software, buy this book.
