Are you wanting us to tell you what OUR favorite compueter book is or what?
In case you are: IBM PC and Assembler programming. It's an OLD one.
This is probably my favorite technical book.

**Great Book**
i started readin the ANSI-ISO Manual for professional programmers today.
wouldnt quite rate it as exciting but its good and teaches you 'professional' programmin practice
Monday - what a way to spend a seventh of your life
Assembly Language Primer
Its old (1985)...but is awesome....
First computer book I ever bought, Sams Teach Yourself Visual Basic 6 in 24 Hours... You really do have to teach youself, without the help of that crappy book. It's interesting because somehow people other than me buy it. After wasting my $ on that book I started to read a little of each book before I buy it.
MMURTL V1.0 aka Developing Your Own 32-Bit OS
> 'professional' programmin practice
I think this is a bit misleading... There's no such thing as "professional programming practice". Everyone's got their own standards for everything (and I do mean everything - one time, I had to do a program for a guy that wanted every single variable declared globally), even within companies. Anyone who says they'll teach you "professional" style is either just wrong or flat-out lying.

I think there sure is a difference in the way hobbyists and students program and the way proffessionals create software. But this is not necessary programming, just more the methods used for designing and creating software.
Well, right when I program something at home or school, I assume that nobody else is going to be debugging it or altering it, so it doesn't matter if the variable names aren't extremely descriptive (for a great look at this in action, see anything made by doubleanti) or commented. When you program for a company, you better make damn sure the names are spot on and you can figure out what was going on when you wrote it 6 months ago.

That was what I meant with the difference between a proffessional programmer and a student or hobbyist. A proffessional programmer usually is required to create and maintain a set of documents while creating software.
