I second this about Code Complete. (Also I think it's at its 2nd edition, maybe 3rd?)

It's more up to the point instead of going into dogmatic diatribe

It's more evidence based (giving examples, etc)

Go for this one and Bob's your uncle! (or maybe it stops being your uncle, I guess)

What a great book. I second this and add my own "The Pragmatic Programmer: 20th anniversary edition"
