A couple of classic books to get you started - McConnell - Code Complete (very practical - don't let the MS imprint put you off) Pressman - Software Engineering: a Practitioner's Approach (a bit more theoretical but gives you all the background) There are a lot of "methodologies" out there that will give you a cookbook-type approach. I would divide these roughly into older "waterfall" style methods like SSADM, Information Engineering, CASE*Method, and newer iterative things like RUP (Rational Unified Process, from the same stable as UML), DSDM, XP. Common sense is probably your most useful guide though.
