I have a learning disability: I can’t learn things for the sake of learning them; that is I learn by doing, and in order to do something, I need something to do. Since I don’t have enough time to bite off any medium or large scale project right now between work, school and “life”, the Python Challenge is really neat way for me to dabble in learning more python.
Its a series of puzzles solvable using Python (or I suppose almost any language or tool set), but they are as much about solving riddles as the programming itself. I’m only on puzzle 4 or 5 out of 33, so there’s plenty to look forward to.
