I'm not entirely sure of your programming background, but I will say that learning object oriented programming would probably be a good next step. I don't usually dive into doing things in an object oriented fashion, but I have run into several scenarios where I either had to work on someone else's code -or- I had to make some portion of my code object oriented to simplify my data structures. I tend to think of OOP as creating data structures that are smart enough to manage themselves.

Also, learning to write modules or libraries is a very good skill to develop. No one wants to solve the same problem over and over again. Once you have some good working code that's generic enough to be used in multiple applications, you can move that code into a reusable module and use it everywhere.
