The Pragmatic Programmer: From Journeyman to Master
by David Thomas, Andrew Hunt
The Pragmatic Programmer gives an overview of software engineering best practices, how to become better at your job and how to deliver a better product. It is written in a fun, conversational style and contains a lot of memorable analogies and anecdotes from the authors' jobs. While some of the references to specific technologies are a bit dated, the advice given is still very relevant.
Although some of the advice has become mainstream (as best practices or something you learn at college), I think it is still worth reading to reinforce those ideas and for the systematic overview of the ideas.
