A very good article on coding guidelines. Most of what is mentioned is followed by professional programmers. Nevertheless interesting read.

Adding my opinion to what is already said: Do code refactoring all the time. Code refactoring is redesigning the code after lot of requirements have been added. This ensures that the code is still maintainable after all those changes.

I tried to reply to your comment Vijay, but for some reason it disappeared.
I find that making refactoring part of your weekly workflow improves code quality greatly. Often, when I'm designing a system, I will revisit a piece of code a day or two later and evaluate whether it can be improved or not. A fresh perspective can highlight bugs and deficiencies.
