My Learning Path for Machine Learning with Python

I am newbie in Machine Learning but working with data a lot as an ETL developer. I simply fall for ML when I've first introduced with it, so I have given a target date to myself to complete the below learning schedule with my day to day work :-)

Hoping I am not too harsh on my self.

Let's not do the talking but the work :

Python

For beginners, I will suggest below reference material which can help them learning python quickly

• BOOK - Python for Informatics
• [Course - Programming for Everybody by University of Michigan] (https://www.coursera.org/learn/python)

These 2 source are more than enough to learn basics of python.

Python Pandas

• [10 minutes to pandas] (http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/10min.html#min)
• [10 minutes to pandas - IPYTHON Notebook] (http://www.datagenx.net/2017/01/10-minutes-with-pandas-library.html)
• [pandas turorials #1] (http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/tutorials.html)
• [pandas turorials #2] (https://bitbucket.org/hrojas/learn-pandas)
• [Some tutorials on my Site] (http://www.datagenx.net/search/label/Pandas)
• [A Intro to Pandas] (http://synesthesiam.com/posts/an-introduction-to-pandas.html)
• [Python Pandas CookBook] (http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/cookbook.html)

Python Scipy

• [Scipy Notes] (http://www.scipy-lectures.org/)

Python Scikit-Learn (Machine Learning)

• [scikit-learn Tutorials] (http://scikit-learn.org/stable/tutorial/)
