Good morning to all I am a civil engineer in Spain and I started the MLS courses with a view to changing my professional career towards being a Machine Learning Engineer. I have completed course 1 of the specialization and currently I am working on course 2. I find the information and videos of the course extremely useful and brilliantly prepared. However, since I have no background in computer science or coding, I am having more trouble with the practice labs, especially looking into the details of the coding provided. I would like to know where I can find resources in order to learn Python from scratch. Regards ---

Thank you very much for your advice Christian, surely wilk take a look at that course. Regards ---

Hi @Luis_Ignacio_Perez , You can also look into [Kaggle Open-source courses](https://www.kaggle.com/learn); there are various levels, from [basic programming](https://www.kaggle.com/learn/intro-to-programming) to [Python](https://www.kaggle.com/learn/python) and Machine Learning exercises. Kaggle is a popular community where data scientists and machine learning engineers use datasets to develop models. Regards, Vy ---

@Luis_Ignacio_Perez: This thread might be interesting for you, too: > [@Starting your Python journey](https://community.deeplearning.ai/t/starting-your-python-journey/180689): > > Hello learners, These are suggestions to kick-start your Python journey. A1 & 2 & 4 are about learning resources and exercises. A3 is about finding/setting up a coding environment. A4 & 5 are highlighted coding skills. B1 & 2 & 3 are official tutorials for some popular data science packages that are also used in MLS B4 is how we help ourselves in daily work when a problem comes up. C is a step-to-step guide to try reading and understanding the labs. If you are completely new, then very likely… Have a good start in the week! Best regards Christian ---

Hi Christian. I got this error when clicking in the link: " Oops! That page doesn’t exist or is private." Might you share again the link of the specialization for python? Many thanks 🙂
