Many of them. :D

Pragmatic Programmers was always a fun start for me back in the day, even some MS Press and plenty of O'Reilly.

Most of what I learned came from blogs and time spent at a computer, however.

There's no substitute for practicing the art of programming to learning actually useful programming skills. Write, run, rinse, repeat. Have fun :)

Oh and when applying for jobs, I found http://pragprog.com/book/algh/land-the-tech-job-you-love useful.

The Pragmatic Programmer, Code Complete, and others in that sort of vein come to mind. Though some of those can be a bit language (and version thereof) specific.

It comes down to living in the trenches yourself or learning from someone that has already done so.
