Actually, I don't really think it's off-topic - but it's a very general
software topic, rather than Rev or xtalk or ...
There's an interesting set of course notes on programming for scientists
and engineers (non-CS majors) at http://www.third-bit.com/swc/web/index.html
Some of it is language or environment specific - but a large part of it
isn't. (Especially the first and last parts)
And much of it is interesting, amusing or infuriating - all the
hallmarks of a good read ....
I especially liked his "rule" at the end - highlights for me were:
* A week of hard work can sometimes save you an hour of thought.
* The deadline isn't when you're supposed to finish; the deadline is
when it starts to be late.
* Never debug standing up.
* Tools are amplifiers: they allow good programmers to be better,
and bad ones to be worse.
