The "Dragon Book" is a book on compiler construction. While there might be some
SE issues in there, that's not really its purpose.

>What else should I check out?  Any suggestions?  Any advice?

The textbook for my undergrad SE course was "Software Engineering, A
Practitioner's Approach" by Rodger S. Pressman. I'd definitely reccomend it on
the subject. I regularly use the stuff on Cohesion and Coupling to explain good
initial design principles to developers who know how to code, but don't know
what a good design looks like (there are an appalling amount of folks out there
like that).
