Subject: Re: getting in lots of practice at begginner level.

I've found that I learn faster when I have a system to play with or a
previous project that I can "Rubify". Do some trivial stuff:-
 Where are the top five largest files in the system, the five oldest,
etc. This worked for me as it helped me to think in terms of objects
within a week.

See a telephone number - play with the digits. Car registration, play
with the letters...
