Question regarding IB

Hi guys, I have been watching/reading the forums for a couple of weeks and I finally decided to make an account. I was looking for some advice regarding IB. I am currently a CS major at a top 10 CS program in USA. I recently got an offer from JPM for a summer intern position as an application developer in New York. I have been researching JPM among other banks and I was wondering if anyone can point me to some resources which can help me get a better understanding of these Investment Banks(how they work, different sectors, different roles/positions etc). I am particularly interested in books, articles, magazines.

Also, I was wondering, is it better to just have a CS degree or would it be better if I get a degree in Econ or Finance along with my CS degree. I would like to be an application developer but eventually move up to management or something equivalent. Any insight is appreciated and thanks for reading!

Cheers
