So go ahead and buy that Java/Ruby/Javascript/PHP book; you'll probably get some use out of it. But you won't change your life, or your real overall expertise as a programmer in 24 hours or 21 days. How about working hard to continually improve over 24 months? Well, now you're starting to get somewhere...
I'm not really looking to learn to be a programmer super fast. I don't think that can be done. Don't want a crash course. I'm just looking to absorb knowledge so that on the job, I don't appear to be such a newb when it comes to good practices and techniques, as well as things you definitely want to avoid. I figure there must be more good articles out there like the one I linked, and maybe whole books like that.
