Just more Euler problems will help, though they may not be optimal. Around problem 50, brute force stops being a viable option, and you have to start referencing wikipedia and, sometimes, the resources wikipedia lists. By the time you reach 100, the problems start getting genuinely hard (for me, they may not get hard until significantly after that for you). See if you can solve each problem with paper and pencil before you even create a program, or, if you must create a program, use it to test a hypothesis instead of to find the answer.
For bonus points, try to get your algorithms down to one second of running time once you get a working algorithm.

Thanks for that—and they’ll probably start getting hard for me quite a bit before 100. I’ve nowhere near the programming experience of you; I’ve been partially using Project Euler to teach myself Python.
I did the same, though I went into them knowing a small amount of Java and a similar amount of JavaScript. I doubt the Euler problems are the optimal way to learn a language, but they’re certainly a really, really good one.
