I find both essential. Unless I have a real program to write with a
real goal, I find I don't really learn too much. Books give you
knowledge, but solving a real problem brings the true understanding
needed to make use of that knowledge.
That's something I liked about formal programming classes. I could
follow along with the examples in the book, but then I also had to apply
what I had learned from the book (and the class) to one or more
programming assignments. This is something that is hard to do outside
the classroom with a commercial, non-textbook book.
