Code Complete 2, by Steve McConnell

Code Complete 2 is the book that every software developer must read. In fact, they should probably read this before they do their first real development project. It is one of the best books about the practices involved in software programming. McConnell talks about almost every aspect of software construction I can think of, including personal integrity. A large book, it does take time to read, but the effort is worth the investment.
