Example exercises
If you want to learn programming, it's not only important to read about it, but even more important to begin hacking from the start.
Here you will find a set of example exercises to start with. Those come in several degrees of difficulty. Some of them are simple and can be solved rather quickly, others require you dive into the documentation more thoroughly and ponder a while.
