Carlton’s Answer

As others have stated one of the most important things is to learn the structured concepts of any programming language. Understanding the language concepts as well as how the language processes input data, tables, databases, ect. in order to produce the the desired output that will benefit the intended audience. Once you have an understanding of "how concepts" of software languages then you can apply those concepts to meet the desired project requirements. Understanding how to apply these concepts will allow you to build a foundation that could be used in other technology-related areas such as System Design, Database Admin, Business Analysis, etc.

Atul’s Answer

Having written software for 20+ years, I suggest following:
1) If not written insist for the Functional/Design Specifications. Follow what is spelled out when you start coding.
2) The basic rule is to develop what is specified/expected. Otherwise it is GIGO - Garbage In Garbage Out.
3) Always write modular code and document well. Never write “write only” code, ie the person who wrote only understands it.
4) Finally, a well structured code is easy to debug. Never rush - slow and steady wins the race. Spend time to write good code so that you spend less time debugging.
