Well, this brings up another problem. And that is that software development is not applied computer science. There are plenty of books which will teach you skills on dealing with real-world code (Refactoring and Working Effectively With Legacy Code being two of the biggies) and there are books that will teach you about other important aspects of development processes (such as Code Complete, Rapid Development, Design Patterns, The Pragmatic Programmer, etc. although those books are showing their age a bit these days) but none of those would be considered computer science textbooks.
