It's fucking ridiculous how there's a great deal of websites to introduce beginners to programming and how there's not a single resource to take the beginners and teach them to do something with all the syntax they've learned.

There are a lot of pages with simple ideas and projects for beginners, like calculators

Also, welcome to devrant

I know this kind oder Website..
Way too good...

You now know the basics, what yiu do with that knowledge is up to you.

Like a little bird being kicked out of a nest, fly little birdy bro!

Would be nice to have a website with several project suggestions and solutions.

There's a reddit with daily programming challenges:

But otherwise just think of something and start creating it. The best way to learn is to actually create something.

Outside of "joke apps," one of the first "big" projects I wrote to get my head around what I had been learning was a game of Monopoly.

First iteration was 6 players on one computer, second iteration was a rewrite and was an 8 player LAN version.

As @divil mentioned, pick a challenge or project that you actually want to work on. It will keep your interest peaked, and you will have something "show offable" at the end.

@jobylie Yeah, I did that two years ago, but it didn't make me excited about programming. It's not something that I can express myself with or that's really fulfilling.

@Mizz141 care to share?

@fattymiller but where to? I need to know that I'm going *somewhere* before leaping.

@divil I totally agree with you.

You just gotta look harder man. There are plenty of sites like that: exercism.io (not a typo, actually exercism with an e) and codewars.com

I also think that learning how to program and project ideas is a hen and egg sort of thing. Especially because most of what I know about coding is self taught, I stumble about real world problems, have no idea how to solve them and then read into the topic.

@bardia323 honestly, for me it was for the challenge of "taming the computer" (also that i was the only coder in my friend circle - which automatically made me better than them ;))

"Where to" is defined by you, I guess? Programming can be both boring and challenging at the same time.
If you enjoy the constant chase of conquering a machine who thinks it is smarter than you, the career can be quite rewarding.

I must warn you though, you will forever have complaints and issues that you can't vent to "the normals," and you will live a life of talking to people who's eyes just glaze over whenever you try.
