One thing that i have always found important when looking at code is that you understand:

-how it works
-why it works
-when it doesn't work
-what is happening behind the scenes

It is important to not only understand that the code or function does something but you should understand to a certain degree why and how it does it.

For working at home away from the robot you can also use labview with an arduino and develop good coding habits and begin advancing your knowledge of control structures

Also don't be afraid to break off and learn Anouther language as learning how to do something in many different ways will help you understand the logic
