A comment on Employment in America: WTF is going on?. Parent comment
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 :)
