It's nice to be aware of the current trends in our industry, and I would like to know what books have been released this year that are worth reading.

I'm especially interested in books about languages, but I'd like to hear about other kinds of programming books as well.

For example, JVM languages are hot topic, and there's at least two new books that are partially completed, and available on the web: Programming Clojure and Programming Scala.

Does anyone know if there are new books about Clean Code or Domain Driven Design?

A: 

Domain-Driven Design: Tackling Complexity in the Heart of Software http://www.amazon.com/Domain-Driven-Design-Tackling-Complexity-Software/dp/0321125215

...(not 2009)

2003? I liked the first third and last chapter of this book, but it got very repetitious in the middle. I thought Doug Evans had a great idea, but he needed a better editor.

We just picked up a copy of Real-Time Cameras at our studio, which I'm looking forward to reading. (Sad story about its author, though.)

(Also, Essential Mathematics for Games and Interactive Applications, Second Edition came out late last year, but is terrific...)

Never heard of any of the names responsible for the book "Real-Time Cameras" nor do I work in game programming, let alone cameras in games, but I would like to leave my condolences for the author who passed away. RIP.

Uh, "Secret of Javascript Ninja" cannot be bad book judging by its name and who's the author. Btw. you linked it to wrong book. Here's the correct url: http://www.manning.com/resig/

Im not sure about books like "Secrets of JavaScript Ninja" and "Wicked Cool Shellscripts". Although I ones like them, their titles do my head in
