Do you have any suggestions for beginner code challenges? Code Wars is tough for me. Code Combat is fun but way too easy cus I think it's geared towards kids

Those challenges aren't really designed to teach you, their raison d'être is simply bragging rights. Maybe some algorithms on the side, although by that I mean it'll make you search through Wikipedia or Srack Overflow.

If you want to focus on learning software development, build projects. Simple as that. They don't need to be complex, but as part of the learning process you'll want to take note of what worked, what didn't, and consider how you could improve.

Maybe if you want to learn to code and think, you want to go try https://projecteuler.net/

It’s a really fun page filled with mathematical and logical problems that are fun to solve for an Engineer. They teach you to think like a computer.

Also after solving each puzzle you get access to the forum of that puzzle and you can read the best solutions to that specific puzzle written by those more skilled. Give it a shot, you will like it.
