I am starting to learn about Quantum Computers and Quantum Algorithms. I also started reading about Qiskit and Cirq. I really like learning about them and hopefully I can be a Software Engineer with Quantum Computers. First though I would like to keep practicing and studying about them. I have a couple of questions.

What is a good program to practice using a quantum algorithm? Should I use Cirq or Qiskit?

You can start running basic algorithms like Grover's algorithm, Shor's algorithm, Quantum Teleportation Algorithm, and many more. That's how I started 3 months ago. Now, I am in a much better place. But, yes you need to ensure that you understand all these algorithms and don't just randomly perform these algorithms by copying from the Internet. If you don't understand the logic and working behind these algorithms, I would suggest the Quantum Computing and Quantum Information Book by Nielsen and Chuang. It is a really good book for a headstart in quantum computing.

Personally speaking, I use qiskit because I was taught by IBM instructors. But, what I think is as long as you know the logic it hardly matters whether you program in qiskit or cirq.

So, in short, you can start with anything!
