Yes, RH's Beyond PEP8 is great, even if you don't do Python. Will put the others in my queue.

I'm reminded of Crockford's "Good Parts" of Javascript, I believe where he introduced me to the "Mother of all Demos."

Everything I've seen by Crockford is great!
Came here to add "Stop Writing Classes", a fantastic talk to show how to refactor away from dogmatic OOP.
