    I don't know if it's as basic as @schoen wanted
    but it might be close.
I remember Code Complete as being a guide for advanced developers on how to take their craft to the next level.

Does my memory deceive me?

You will likely have seen advanced developers recommending it. But it is meant to teach routine daily stuff like how to name variables, lay out functions, why we want abstraction layers, and the like. And it really is aimed at people who may know nothing about code construction.

Okay, thanks. I read it cover-to-cover before I interviewed at Microsoft my senior year in college. But - like the developer in Zed's article - I must have forgotten. :)
