There's an old, small (< 100 pages)  book by Kernighan and Ritchie called
'The Elements of Programming Style' (roughly), that contains
timeless advice, succinctly presented, on good programming techniques.

If you followed all their rules (~ 30 of them), you'd be ahead of
99.9% of folks who program.
