As long as we're on the subject of programming, I might as well post this. It's a forty-page paper written by a computer scientist that "attempts to summarize the non-technical things that I wish someone had explained to me at the beginning of my career as a professional programmer." The link gives a slightly more in-depth description and provides a link to the 230kb pdf.
I'm no computer programmer but I found it a fascinating read (it probably helps that my father is a computer scientist so I'm fairly familiar with the subject matter). Worth at least a look, even if all you're doing is playing around with Java. :)
Enjoy.
