I used to program quite a bit of BASIC as a kid. While I was at uni I also learnt PASCAL and C/C++/VisualC++. For a while I didn't do any programming then I discovered the w3schools site and started learning some scripting languages.

I have done some JScript and VBscript tutorials and have started getting a taste for it. Problem I'm finding now is that I feel I need some more tuition, but all the tutorials I can find with Google/Alltheweb are either aimed at people with no programming experience or people with lots of experience in JScript/VBScript. Also I have quite a short attention span and find some of the tutorials a bit dry.

Anyone know of some Beginner/Intermediate level tutorials in this kind of thing, which, preferably are a bit fun. I'm prepared to buy a book if necessary, but would prefer not to.

Even better, if you know anywhere that gives you a 'now write a script that does blah' type thing to test yourself at the end of a tutorial, that would be perfect.

Cheers
