As per this blog post, I hope to provide 20 questions for beginners, and intermediate programmers, that will help in achieving some level of confidence in skills with programming languages and frameworks.
Each question will require a practical solution, and the concepts you're expected to have mastered by the time you accept it, will be given in detail.
This is not an list of algorithm exercises.
