[Coco] The art of programming?

[Jim Cox]

As I dive into C programming, one of the major issues I 
have to overcome is learning create a program in the most 
direct and simplest way possible.  I shouldn't say it's an 
issue as it is more of a skill I need to develop.

I understand this takes time and practice, but I'd like to 
know if anyone out there has any recommendation for a good 
book on just software design?

I'm starting to read Code Complete, but if possible I'd 
like to get more than one point of view.  Thanks.
