"This is a course about the practice of programming, an attempt to expose students to the development of real programs. Programming is more than just writing code. Programmers must also assess tradeoffs, choose among design alternatives, debug and test, improve performance, and maintain software written by themselves and others. At the same time, they must be concerned with compatibility, robustness, and reliability, while meeting specifications. Students will have the opportunity to develop these skills by working on their own code and in group projects."
I recommend reading the first chapter of Bjarne Stroustrup's book, "Programming Principles and Practice Using C++." It's a quick read but it's got the wisdom that your question seeks.
Josh Hug's course would be a good place to start.
Lectures -- Companion textbook -- Practice problems -- Projects -- all in one place covering everything from the basic to the complex.
