They have several people in the company who understand the mechanics of programming, but don't really understand the concepts. I am looking for a book to recommend to them. I would really like to find a book that just discusses programming, and avoids any one particular language. It would have to cover the common imperative controls, as well as basic data structures.
I'd also recommend "The Pragmatic Programmer" http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/ppbook/index.shtml It's difficult to summarize, but I think every programmer should read it at least once. It is mostly about the mechanics of programming also. -- Shae Erisson - this space for rent - #haskell on irc.freenode.net "Notwithstanding fervent argument that patent protection is essential for the growth of the software industry, commentators have noted that `this industry is growing by leaps and bounds without it.'" -- US Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, March 3, 1981.
