    So guys, as some of you know, I'm in college now, studying computer science. First semester, I learned python, and hopefully will be learning C this semester. However, for the beginning of this semester, I've only been learning about machine code, and stuff...I don't want to lose my knowledge of python. So does anyone know any good websites with programming excersizes? I know obmoz has a Ph.D in it, so maybe he can provide some information too. :)

    You can do the project Euler stuff. It helped me get back into Python after learning asembler languages. ^_^

    Liar. We all know you're not obmoz. You're nowhere near as cool and accepting.

    I did computer science... all they taught me was basic Java shit, basic counting systems I could have learned from Wikipedia in a week and systems analysis which was essentially just a step towards managing a business... Wasnt getting anything out of it, left pretty quick

    computer science is not about programming or managing a system or binary counting i dont know what you got into

    maybe for the first year its like that, but then its different also undergrad summer research will show you what CS is about

    Computer Engineering, but we have CompSci stuff, anyway. -___- Python here too. And the Euler project or w/e is actually good.

    Seconded. Euler project stuff is really good.
