I'm an electrical engineer, but I have had a great deal of 
exposure to writing applications programs in C.  I'd like to do
a little reading to strength my knowledge in software, especially
since (like most EE's who went to school in the late 70's) I
learned programming via FORTRAN and microprocessors.

So:
 1.What are some good books that would provide:
	-Good info on fundamental software engineering concepts
	-Basics in software algorithms, data structure concepts,
	 programming concepts

 2.What do you think are the really important fundamemtal concepts for a 
   programmer to understand?  Software algorithms?  Paridgms (?)?

 3.Are there any computer science books that provide good examples
   (preferably in C) instead of "useless" theory?
