Does anyone know of any good reference books that outline the fundamentals of development processes, how different code languages work, etc., but do so in a language and tone geared for someone on the business side with little background in softwareor Web technologies? I'm looking for a book or books that I can use as reference after a meeting has gone a little too heavy on the code/tech-babble.

Thanks,
John Connell

For web sites, I would highly recommend an o'reilley book -- "Web design in a nutshell". It is a comprehensive resource guide that covers all the bases

I read Code Complete a few years ago. It completely changed my view of development. Helped me to see what was wrong with the projects I was on and what we needed to do better. Helped me bring the coding "level" among my peers up by spreading the word about the book. My code is certainly better for reading it.

I highly recommend it.
