I’ve gone and done 20 problems on Project Euler, and learned a little, but it didn’t seem like the fastest way to learn. Some of the problems took me awhile, but mostly they could be done with things I already knew. There was just one that I had to resort to Googling how to do, which led to learning a bit more about Python’s max command. But maybe I should take most of Project Euler seeming relatively easy as encouragement?

If you did 20 problems at random, certainly. If you started from the beginning, all I can say is keep going. A good way to judge difficulty is to sort the problems in descending order of the number of people who solved them.

Learn math too, to understand data structures, graphs, algoritms and all the basic CS stuff.
