I've been learning Python for two months, although I haven't seen any libraries yet... What do you think I should do to gain experience while I study? And maybe even start looking for a job or what kind of projects could I start building in the IA era? Any feedback will be appreciated. <br> Thanks in advance!</p> programming beginners
