During my Holiday vacation, I've been doing some thinking about the
question posed earlier about more recent books on programming. I did some
looking on www.slashdot.org about the books they have reviewed. I was able
to some books that might fit the original question, plus some web lists
that cover programming books.
The books I found are:
"The Limits of Software" - covers the history of programming and the future
of software development.
"The Practice of Programming" by Kernighan and Pike, a new 1999 book a
classic team. Seems to cover programming and algorithms. I forgot that I
bought this a while back and had it out in the garage with the other books
I used to have a work.
"The Pragmatic Programmer" by Hunt & Thomas
"Code Complete" by Steve McConnell
The web sites are:
McConnell's Code Complete Reading List

Great Books on Computer Science

This list might help answer the original question.
