I have been reading up Java Server Pages just recently. It's interesting how the idea about the Model View Controller (MVC) design pattern has found its way into web page design. As far as I know, J2EE suggested the use of this pattern first using JSP (View), Servlet (Controller), and EJB (Model). Then, Microsoft supported this pattern through Visual Studio (though, initially, if you didn't have Visual Studio, it would be pretty hard), using the ASPX (View), Code-Behind (Controller), and business code (Model).

These are the type of habits and discipline that good and great programmers live by. Though, my question goes on whether or not the average (or median) programmer agrees with this list. Now, that's the question I have encountered in a lot of discussion with friends. Seven Habits of Highly Effective Programmers

The Art of SQL is a book that I've picked up recently. It seems to be a very good book on theoretical SQL. I'll write a review as soon as I'm finished.
