One thing that I've come to realize about programming is that if you want to create better programs you need a better understanding of the languages, tools, and process you're using. Now, as great a tool as the internet can be in quickly finding information, I still have a soft spot for a solid book that covers a subject in depth and detail. Actually finding books of this caliber can be quite difficult, but when you find them they are truly a godsend. The two most recent additions to my programming library are OpenGL SuperBible Fourth Edition and The iPhone Developer's Cookbook: Building Applications with the iPhone 3.0 SDK 2nd Edition.
Both these books are monsters, weighing in at about 1,200 pages and 800 pages respectively. Diving into them, though, has been satisfying and relieving. It's nice to have solid reference material available vs. wading through google search listings.
