Alright, I just ordered Code Complete. That book is very long, though, any
recommendations for chapters that were particularly worthwhile, or that you
might be particularly applicable for me would be appreciated.

I also picked up Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture, I'll be
reading the sections on "The major approaches to organizing business logic"
and "handling concurrency for data that spans multiple transactions". I had
a lot of difficulty with that last one on one of my early Rails projects,
and think I've been scared to try again, which is probably where a lot of my
fear for this project comes from.

And Analysis Patterns: Reusable Object Models, since the Party,
Accountability, and Transaction patterns sound like they have a decent
probability of being at the very least, insightful.

Also, from an off list suggestion, getting Kent Beck's Test Driven
Development: By Example. Started working on a short project for myself to
try and get myself disciplined to red/green/refactor and got
permission todo dev on the model first, using tdd/bdd, and make
demands regarding others'
practices to that end.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
