It can be quite informative to look at code in different languages to see
how they do the same things. You never know what interesting stuff you'll
pick up! But you will likely advance more quickly into more advanced
progamming skills if you try hacking out programs of your own and modifying
other people's code to make it do different things.

That's what Useless Python is for. In addition to the Challenges (Thanks for
mentioning it, Danny), you can browse through a healthy collection of
beginner and intermediate programs you can attack to your heart's content.

Enjoy,
