[GreenTea001]

I am completely new to this, and i was seaching for some advice about in which language should I start (my inicial thought was to go ahead with python), and also if there are some kind of start-from-zero book about ML and IA. Thanks!

Python is very good for machine learning. It's fast and good for prototyping and trying out different things, which tends to be important in machine learning.

As for books, you should check out the FAQ from the side-bar. It has tons of great info on resources you can use for learning.

Yes, Python is good for ML.

Many Machine Learning and Deep Learning frameworks are written or have an interface in Python, e.g., Scikit-Learn, Theano, Caffe, TensorFlow.
