All of the Steve McConnel books are good, though a bit dated: Code Complete (pre Java, pre web) Rapid Development
and as far as methodology goes, the agile methodology books make good reading Agile Software Development by Cockburn is the good intro and a quick perusal of www.agiledevelopment.org would point you to more.

I'd like to know if anyone had a good book recommendation for writing reliable software, thinking more logically, reducing errors, etc?

One of my complaints with college is they are tending to teach less of the general principles that are important in all languages and instead focus on a specific vendor. > > Does anyone know of such a book?
