A few snippets of code written in Python for most common use cases
For a new programming language, there are a couple of standard things you should try to implement.
Write several programs where you
  Read/write to a file
  Turn a structured object into JSON
  Parse JSON into an object
  A basic script that can be run from the CLI, parses flags/args, reads stdin
  Send a HTTP request
  Implement a very basic web server
When you’re doing these exercises, do not copy/paste any code.
You should be typing out the code yourself.
