I second Tommy's suggestion for Code Complete. I would follow that with "Beautiful Code". But what's wrong with "going back to uni" as long as you do that 21st century style. One excellent learning resource (I use that often as inflight entertainment) are the courses from Stanford Engineering Everywhere. They put their complete video taped courses including the materials on uTube, the web and bitTorrent. Download is free. The only catch: you can't take their exams (but that's not your goal isn't it).
