Edward Yourdon: Structured Design (1979)

Introduced a lot of interesting concepts to understand code, some of which we take for granted, or that have solidified in the collective subconscious of all programmers:

• The concepts of cohesion and coupling.
• Blocks for conditions and loops, instead of GOTO.
• Buy the book on Amazon (affiliate link)
