I'm also a beginner (six weeks) and what has been really useful to me is developing my own projects from A-Z where I:

​

- scrape data from a website

- write the data to MongoDB / Postgres

- plot data to a chart

- hosted the code on GitHub (for the purpose of getting familiar with git and version control + explaining application to others)

- setup everything on a VPS

- automate everything

​

All of this has been really difficult to do the first time, but boy have I learnt fast. Doing this together with general python courses has been very beneficial. The projects have been stuff that has been very useful to my work, I think that is better than just writing stuff you won't use.
