There are several texts for specific languages, and two offerings (IDG and Sams) that attempt to take an overview-to-programming attitude, but this is the only one that takes today's programming environments and explains why each is important and for whom they are important.

I bought this for my son who didn't end up caring for computer work (thankfully). Not bad for a noob.

This was my first programming book. I read it, but I really don't remember it so I guess it didn't have quite the long term impact that one would hope to have.
