A couple years back I started on my first project Euler problem, and just a bit ago I finished my 50th problem. If you aren't familiar with Project Euler, it is essentially a bunch of math problems that you solve programmatically, but you can read more about it on the site.

I really enjoy working on these challenges. The problems typically require good problem solving, efficient algorithms, and good use of data structures. So these types of problems are great for learning a new language, practicing an old one, preparing for an interview, or just honing your coding skills. I have become fairly decent in Ruby by working on these (and a few other projects) to the point where I can pick it up after a few months of not using it and not miss a beat.
I might switch up languages soon. I have always thought about trying out a true functional language, just for fun. Regardless, I plan on solving problems every so often to keep my skills sharp. You can see all of my solutions (good and bad) on github here. Also if you try it out and like it, you can add friends on project Euler to track each other's progress. Add me with the following key 517763_1aef854359e6e315b4f1e358b8544e78 and I will add you back.
Cheers!
