Can you share books or materials you use to improve your professional competence?

To enhance professional competence in Python and related fields, I recommend the following books and resources:

• "Learning Python" by Mark Lutz — a detailed and in-depth guide to the language.
• "Python Cookbook" by David Beazley — practical recipes and solutions for common tasks.
• Official Python documentation (https://docs.python.org/3/) — always an up-to-date source.
• Online courses on platforms like Coursera, Stepik, Udemy — for structured learning.
• Blogs and articles on Medium, Real Python — for exploring new libraries and practices.
• Participating in open-source projects on GitHub — a great way to gain practical experience.

It is also useful to read books on related topics: algorithms, data structures, basics of DevOps, databases, to broaden your horizons and skills.
