Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

comparing the similarity between a set of protein sequences
Usearch will do all-against-all comparisons, cluster sequences, and produce alignments for each cluster. You can set the clustering threshold (proportion of residues identical). The alignments are in fasta format, which is pretty standard. If all you want is basic similarity it might be easiest to just write something that calculates normalized Hamming distances (typically called p-distances in the molecular evolution literature) between pairs of sequences. I suspect the biopython fasta reader (you can install biopython from https://biopython.org/) will be good enough.

Yes, the computing tool for biological computation.

My boss is considering letting me take a programming course if I have some good reasons why.
Beside that their core lectures to non-computer scientists are public (survey), workshops by software carpentry move around the globe. Maybe your intent to seed hands-on knowledge is in similar tune before heading for biopython, bioperl, bioawk. It doesn't hurt to tap into resources initially written for non-labrats either, e.g. about regular expressions by programming historian.

Help they’re turning me into a programmer
Well, what language do you want to learn? What is your background so far? Assuming it is more on the side of biology, software carpentry's Python may eventually lead to biopython? Though there equally is a chance for AWK (Hack the planet's text! and bioawk...

Biology related exercices and "challenges" to train by myself
I think you mind find something of a community around BioPython, which might be helpful. Just looking at the capabilities will probably be instructive as well.

Joining the Open Source Development Course
Python is the main programming language I use nowadays. In particular numpy and pandas are of course extremely useful. I also use biopython package - a collection of software tools for biological computation written in Python by an international group of researchers and developers.
What are some alternatives?
Pandas - Flexible and powerful data analysis / manipulation library for Python, providing labeled data structures similar to R data.frame objects, statistical functions, and much more
RDKit - The official sources for the RDKit library
SciPy - SciPy library main repository
biotite - A comprehensive library for computational molecular biology
Interactive Parallel Computing with IPython - IPython Parallel: Interactive Parallel Computing in Python
bioconda-recipes - Conda recipes for the bioconda channel.
dask-memusage - A low-impact profiler to figure out how much memory each task in Dask is using
Numba - NumPy aware dynamic Python compiler using LLVM
Dask - Parallel computing with task scheduling
blaze - NumPy and Pandas interface to Big Data
PyDy - Multibody dynamics tool kit.
