Suggested Reading for Design and Development of Software Programs?

Question

Hi,

I am looking for suggested reading for Design and Development of Software Programs, currently I am reading Code Complete and want to continue my reading as it really helps to understand different aspects of Software Engineering and industry best practices.

Guidance would be highly appreciated.

Thanks.
