I agree, but also, pick something that's small and self-contained. Try to find a project that you can complete (to the point of usability) within a day, or at most a week, preferably within the space of a page or two of code. As an added advantage, you'll be able to ask for code review, here or somewhere else; you can learn a lot by writing your code first, and then having other programmers offer comments. (Note that I didn't say "better programmers" or even "more senior programmers". It's called "peer review" in some circles, because the point is that anyone can learn from anyone else.)
