The world contains many programmers with more experience than one's-self, and some of them are good at explaining what they know in a comprehensible and entertaining way. I believe you will benefit from and even enjoy some of the literature. Here's a recent favorite: "The Pragmatic Programmer", Andrew Hunt and David Thomas.
