What you need at this point are a series of assignments which are self-contained problems with known solutions. The assignment 'create a web server that di…

@ChuckMcM, your assignment on market theory is nicely put. I particularly like the idea of the sudoku part as a way to get raw materials. Get some crypto there and here and gateways with the "real" economy, and... you know what I mean ;)
