True.
I would just think of something you need yourself, then try to code it (using google) or if you are a complete beginner, then try to get some script and edit it, read it, take a look at it and think about it, what it does, etc...
Always use Google, I can say I'm very very advanced as programming makes me a lot and I only used Google to learn (not any courses, I simply googled anything I needed, such as "how to create function python"
)
Try calculator and to do list projects first. After complete these two, just jump to the more serious projects like e-commerce site or like cloning a twitter..
you are ready to get hired. It will take a time to undertsand everything with this projects but at the end of the day you will have uniqe skill. Good luck with it.

How about something like that:
- a desktop app
- there is a folder with jpg files for example 1.jpg, 1a.jpg, 2.jpg, 2a.jpg, 3.jpg, 3a.jpg, and so on
- you want the app to make a pdf page to be printed with jpgs that you specifically select, e.g. 1.jpg, 3.jpg.
- you want the app to print on the reverse of that page jpgs: 1a.jpg, 3a.jpg
Can you make that as a test of your programming skills?

Try doing something that needs a database. Some of the projects could be beginner-friendly. Think there were many simple Facebook, Twitter, etc clones before I dropped out of school. You can learn a lot by doing those about databases, front end, etc, and also build your project folder at the same time if you apply for jobs.

I'm not sure by "beginner" you mean you never touched programming before or have at least some fundamental knowledge of programming. I honestly think the easiest projects you can pick up in a day or two is making simple automation scripts. Search for selenium for browser automation, learn how HTTP works and use request/curl to send automated queries to website.

Hi
You want to practice programming and you are a beginner. What programming language you use or want to practice?
- Do you want to work on the web? Front-End / Back-End or Full-Stack web development?
- Do you want to build software with no user interface?
- Any programming language in particular? JS - JAVA - C# - C++ - Python - PHP?

Thanks for the tips man. I'm trying to do that as well :b.
What I enjoy the most is back-end. To be honest, I kinda dislike Front-End :S. I really enjoy finding the logic and the thinking it evolves.
But i want to build software with user interface tho.
C#.
Saw all of your answers guys, they helped a lot and gave me a little bit of direction. Thanks.
