+1 to the testing and source control. Most programming courses (mine included) give you enough knowledge to program 'in the small' but that's not really a useful skill. You need to be able to program 'in the large', write tests, refactoring old code, document for the next developer, debug, create abstractions - all of which you an get away with in the small.
