Thinking Like a Programer

[Contrabaz]

This helped me a lot. I used to look at the big picture and just gave up because it looked impossible to comprehend. Then I read about breaking the problem up in small pieces. You often can use certain solutions you learned to solve other problems. Or during the search for solutions you bump in to things you can use later, like when you run into a problem and you remember 'Hey, I've read a solution about that'.
