You could start with Cody, although that may teach you bad programming habits if you are not careful. (Sorry Ned, but it can do that if you truly aim at optimizing your Cody score.) The shortest code is not always the best code. Aim for highly readable code, plus decent efficiency. Multiple lines are BETTER than one line, because they make for readable code. (Cody will penalize the use of multiple lines.) Learn to use comments. Again, readability is a prime target. Shortness of your code should be the very last thing you think about. The point is, Cody is a splendid resource, if you use it as a source of interesting problems where your answer can be tested for correctness. If your goal is merely to earn reputation, then I think you may be aiming at the wrong target.
If you are ambitious, you could try a few Project Euler problems. Many of them can be obscenely hard. Personally, I ran out of steam around 300 PE problems solved, but if you can solve even a few of them, you are doing well as a beginner. (The first few are the easiest.)
