Hi Codeforces community,
I want to start practicing on SPOJ or UVa. I don't know how to start or which judge to choose, or which problems to start with. Please help.
Thanks in advance.

oo nvm, but please answer my original question
I think codeforces is better than both of them. I hate UVA, cringe.
I did some of SPOJ it is nice place to practice concepts and classical things. Here is some sheet I had used to solve on SPOJ before,

Also, check this you'd find replies by ICPC finalists.
There, https://youkn0wwho.academy/topic-list , you can find problems from the 3 websites! CF, SPOJ and UVA
Competitive Programming 3 Book has tons of problems from UVA under each chapter you can refer that book.
