A personal preference of mine is to write a simple http server with GET and a few error codes implemented. It usually covers networking, file IO, exceptions in some cases, multi-threading, string parsing, etc. If it feels like too much then you can always start off with a smaller subset of features.

Threads? That is not for beginners.However, your idea is great last summer I was told to code such in an interview that with a hook to Lisp. I learnt so much even though I failed the interview.
