My experience is that worked, traditional textbook-style exercises are the best way to learn and internalize this kind of knowledge. A combination of shorter exercises with longer open-ended tasks is good. Basically more or less what you'd get on a homework problem set in a university course. Maybe the fact that this kind of work ends up being "spaced repetition" in some sense is part of why it's helpful.
