Beginner question: Looking for a site that has problems a beginning Java programmer can work on
<p>Greetings, everyone. I'm new to the wonderful world of Programming, and just came upon this site here. I'm very excited to get into programming as a whole, as I have met tons of other eager people at the business that I am interning at this summer. It's a great community, and I'm excited to become a part of that community!</p>

<p>I'm going into my Sophomore year in college studying Computer Science. Last semester, I took a beginners course in Java programming. I really like the language, however my teacher did not explain the language very well, and I (and the rest of the class) fell behind.</p>

<p>At the business that I have an internship with this summer, I discovered that they have a corporate subscription to Safari Books. I've been pouring through the site looking at various text books, when I stumbled upon Head First Java. I've been reading through it pretty much every day, and I'm slowly getting the hang of the language once again.</p>

<p>I would like to test out my knowledge and skill by completing beginner projects or problems, such as the ones that you find in the back of a text book. Head First provides a lot of sample code to complete relating to the project detailed within the chapters, however I want to do some other projects where I don't have a reference; where I can fully apply myself to without any added help.</p>

<p>I've done the cursory Google searches, and I can't seem to find any websites or webpages that have a list of beginner programming problems to solve. Does anyone here have a list that they know of, or a page that they bookmarked, or even ideas of some problems that I can solve!</p>

<p>Thank you very much in advance, and I look forward to learning and applying myself further!</p>
