Others here have commented that as a noob, your code will likely suck. Even a few months from you, you'll reflect back or encounter code you wrote and think about how much it sucks. The one tenant I can tell you is that code is never truly final. I mean 'final' in the sense that any product you're building (a web app or thick client or whatever) is never final because if people are using it, they'll always want new versions and updates that do things differently and better. This phenomenon gives you (and your product team) a chance to make things better, both in existing code/features and new things as well. Secondly, you should try to learn and focus on the art of testing. Just like when you were learning mathematics in high school algebra and calculus and later numerical analysis or number theory or whatever in college, your instructors always want you to 'check your work.' In the simplest case, that's taking your 'final answer' and plugging it back in for 'X' and solving to see if you actually got the equation right. Think of testing like this: a balance of both sides of an equals sign. Otherwise, be a sponge and read, listen, and absorb.
