I'm a moderator on ebooks.stackexchange.com. Come check it out!

For my employer I mainly develop C#, WPF, C/AL (Client/server Application Language) for Dynamics NAV (with some .Net interop) and less often now, Progress 4GL. On the rare occasion I write iPhone/iPad and Android applications for my employer.

Outside of work I have dabbled in Lisp, Perl, C, F# and Clojure (and ClojureCLR).

Check out the top 100 users in a given tag (helpful for learning interesting things about tags you are interested in).

Interesting books I'd recommend:

• Dependency Injection in .Net (I'd say this is required reading for any .Net (or even Object Oriented) programmer).
• The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development
• Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software
• The Annotated Turing - A Guided Tour Through Alan Turing's Historic Paper on Computability and the Turing Machine
• Seven Languages in Seven Weeks
