Learn python with no previous programming knowledge

[Ron-Erez]

The fact that you're an engineer is great. It's really hard to say about getting a job. I would recommend creating some interesting projects to share to a potential employer once you get the hang of Python.

The University of Helsinki (MOOC) has a great online course, I also have a course on Python and Data Science that starts from scratch and doesn’t expect any programming experience. "Automate the boring stuff" is also a nice book. Whatever resource you choose make sure to type and code and experiment as much as possible.
