Hello Tamas,

I am looking for small to medium sized practice problems, preferably with solutions. Hal Daume's tutorial had some good one-liners (eg rewrite something point-free) but I am looking for something which would take 1-3 hours for a newbie, and then I could look at a solution
not exactly that you ask but i recommend you "hitchhikers guide" and "implementing Scheme in 48 hours" as an interesting mini-books for "advanced newbie". look at "books and tutorials" page
i also suggest you to start write some library. there is enough useful libs that are still bnot implemented because lack of time (and insterest in such simple code) on side of more experienced programmers. i once proposed you to write strings library, another interesting and useful thing will be gzip/bzip2-lib bindings
Bulat, I would be happy to write a strings library, I just don't know that it is supposed to do... (I have no CS education, only math/economics). If you show me the specifications or documentation in another language, I would write one as practice. Thanks, Tamas
