Hi. I am totally new to coding. I would like to take Machine Learning with Python but I have no background on coding etc. Is this ok? If I need to learn something basic that is being offered here in the camp, could you tell me what it is so I can first do it? Or the course also covers the basics? Thanks!

Everybody starts from nothing at some point. You’ll need to know some python before starting the ML course and projects so I would recommend doing the two python courses and projects here (scientific computing and data analysis), then the python parts of the information security course before tackling the ML course. You don’t need to be a python expert to do the ML projects, but you do need to understand the basics and be able to read the python documentation, especially for the ML libraries like tensorflow and scikit-learn.
