Very different. 97 Things Every Programmer Should Know is made up of 97 short items from 73 contributors, each offering a particular slice of perspective or view on a topic. Whereas The Pragmatic Programmer is intended to be a unified and tightly bound work with a single interlocking narrative, 97 Things is much more a sampler and collection of practices and tips told from different points of view.
Hope that helps!
