Read any good books?

I read Communications of the Association for Computing Machinery. It's not as good as it was in the 1970s and 1980s, or perhaps my brain has calcified. But most issues still have something of value. There are special-interest magaines from ACM, but I do not have time to read them nowadays. I also get the Oracle users' mag, but it has not yet been of any use to me, being specifically Oracle and not generically SQL. At one time the occasional computing article in Scientific American was valuable for context, but that magazine has gone downhill in the last decade or so: anyone know of a good replacement?

And others. But Winning the Talent Wars covers key information about the new economy, the direction of the virtual/project centered workforce, and offers some suggestions on staying ahead of the game.

Books: Citing "Hacking Exposed" is always fun to use to scare clients...

Being a relative novice, I try to read PC Mag (www.pcmag.com) cover-to-cover,while some of my associates say CPU (www.computerpoweruser.com)(ueber-companion rage of "Smart Computing") is the magazine for true gear-head geeks.

Also, I like New Architect www.webtechniques.com for web technologies, though it seems they don't publish regularly, or haven't decided if they want to keep me as a regular subscriber...

With Code Complete and Rapid development
I've found a lot of gold practices
