Buy him a copy of "The Pragmatic Programmer" by Andrew Hunt and David
Thomas. As the title says this is a book about "real" programming, not
web development , but it's a lot of common sense bundled up in a book
that can be applied to web development, too. They have some examples why
it's bad to start an operation in one place and finish in another
(maintenance nightmare).
The book looks a bit like a bunch of power point slides tied together
(lots of small chapters with bullet-pointed lists), which seems a good
format for non-technical decision makers, plus it contains a lot of
snappy quotables, so chances are you supervisor will declare it the new
bible for the workplace (which would be a blessing for you developers).
