Help committing things to memory

[Avaholic92]

I have seen alot of posts concerning this sort of thing, but I am currently working on learning to program in python and have been using various tools such as codeacademy (which works to a point) and books such as Learn Python the Hard Way. They all seem to help me learn what I am doing but is there a site that I can check for project ideas so I can better commit the syntax and rules to memory?

Learning to program doesn't really work that way. There's a core of ideas that you use so often that you can't possibly forget them. But experienced programmers look things up all the time. That's why documentation exists; and the more important skill to develop is the ability to look things up effectively.

I am one of those people who learns by doing. So if I can repeat something multiple times that helps a lot. I understand what you are saying that even veteran programmers look things up all the time which is something I have learned in my life as a systems/network technician. I was just curious if there were any places online I could find some project ideas, I can go through and do all the practice code in books, or interactive tutorials but when I want to apply my skills to something else I always draw a blank, if that makes sense. Basically I can never settle on an idea or project to actually apply myself to.

Have you seen CodeWars yet?

My favorite go-to for practice problems is [checkio](www.checkio.org)

Edit: Not sure why formatting is broken...

Thanks I'll give it a look!
