Deserves a here's a 4th book. The Book is The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch, Creator of Alice (http://www.alice.org/index.php) an educational software system that teaches students computer programming in a 3D environment. They learn programming techniques without really knowing they are... There is a version upcoming targeted at middle school kids called Story Telling Alice (http://www.alice.org/kelleher/storytelling/index.html). The author has since past on and this book is more about achieving your dreams than software but given everything he has done I highly recommend it. The actual last lecture the book is based on can be found on iTunes under CMUs videos for free.
