Hey folks, embracing my nerdier side these past few days in early preparation for my software dev summer internship, I have been tackling a few Java programming assigments.
Google, not surprisingly, offers simply too many resources for this type of thing, so I was wondering if anyone had a resource for challenging programming assignments.
I nearly have a degree in CS so I'm looking for something that is comperable to industry level assignments. Any resources would be much appriciated!

I've found this site to be good fun:

Not necessarily stuff you would directly use but solving these problems will give you some good insight into your language and problem solving abilities. Once you solve a problem you can also see how others solved it which is great for learning new approaches.

Java eh? It'll be a challenge keeping your sanity working with that POS language.

Not a Java man, myself. I prefer C# if I'm going to work with a non-compiled language, but C++ is my personal favorite.
I wouldn't go so far as to call it a "POS language," at least not if I'm trying to be polite (which I am, right now). It has its place, mostly in more advanced web page programming, but it just isn't my cup of tea.
However, if you're looking for some snippets (

Yeah, I learnt Java at uni but I haven't touched it since then. Most of the jobs over here desired C# coders but luckily C# was similar enough that I could pick it up quite easily.
