I agree with the "pattern recognition" tip the most, especially when it comes to learning a language's different design patterns. My coworkers have told me its the area they felt was most important when starting out since it affects so much of their work. Knowing a few good design patterns is great for refactoring and improving code by having different sets of proven, usable designs to measure it against.
