I think the Bruce Schneiers Applied Cryptography is also really good. In fact it was written so that programmers would be able to implement algorithms from it.

It's best to think of Applied Cryptography as an almanac or a work of pop science. The worst thing you can do with it is implement directly from it.
The foreword of the semi-recent (2015) "20th anniversary edition" (which appears to be a reissue of the 2nd edition) even recommends that you look for a more modern reference.
And one of the lessons of the last decades is that programmers should generally not be implementing their own cryptography unless that is their specialty.
> The other two somewhat respected resources at the time were Applied Cryptography and Cryptography Engineering (both from Schneier). But these books were starting to be quite outdated. Applied Cryptography spent 4 chapters on block ciphers, with a whole chapter on cipher modes of operation but none on authenticated encryption. Cryptography Engineering had a single mention of elliptic curve cryptography (in a footnote).
