Practice, practice, practice

Here's a weird one for yis..

Has anyone a few links to sites with practice exercises, maybe with tutorials, for the likes of VB and C? I've come to realize how rusty my programming fingers have become; I need a bit of practice, and it's hard to come up with decent challenges myself.

I'm off to have a look around myself, I'll post up any good sites I find. Hell, we may even get a sticky out of it.

Once upon a time, when I didn't work for myself and had loads of time during the day I had started messing around with the older stuff on

topcoder.com

it wasn't bad...you could pick your choice of language, etc. I found it really weird typing in code without being able to hit F7 all the time

Also visit www.gimpel.com and try their bug of the month.

Any Google for "programming exercises in Visual Basic" tends to throw up mostly courses or books.

There's a fairly comprehensive list of VB resources over at searchVB.com, specifically here, http://searchvb.techtarget.com/bestWebLinks/0,289521,sid8_tax4a7,00.html

If you do manage to find some practice questions I've always found the tutorials over at vbexplorer.com extremely helpful. They're well written and to the point. You can find a full list here: http://www.vbexplorer.com/VBExplorer/alltutorials.asp
