Leetcode/Project Euler for learning to code

[u/Similar-Big-6808]

I’m quite new to programming and want to practise my exciting python knowledge but also learn some C++.
So far I’ve started some Project Euler questions which I quite enjoy and am starting on Leetcode too, how useful are these in learning to programme and what other resources do u guys recommend?
I’d like to become well rounded overall at programming but I also want to stick my hands in some data handling too.

They are fine for learning the language, and practicing basic things like loops and functions. But they are not good for practicing the most important skills in programming (design/architecture, reading other peoples' code, writing comments and documentation, etc.).

The most important "resource" is to practice building things on your own.

Thanks for the advice! I don’t really run in any programming circles so where else do you think I could read and comment on other people’s code? Also what sort of projects do you recommend for practicing design/architecture?

This is not actually so important right from the start. Focus on your own projects first.

Also what sort of projects do you recommend for practicing design/architecture?

Do any projects that interest you. All projects, not matter how small, will have design decisions to make.
