Would you suggest any books/resources to learn the theory behind these implementations so a newbie can follow along?

Pattern recognition and machine learning by Bishop is one of the canonical text books. It helps to have a linear algebra background, it includes a refresher though

Thanks everyone for the suggestions...will check these books out

How does that compare to Andrew Ng's course?

Introduction to statistical learning http://www-bcf.usc.edu/~gareth/ISL/

This book as a prerequisite to anyone who wants to get into machine learning imo.

A friend sent me a link to this - nice work, and I happen to be intermittently working on a very similar (and unfortunately similarly named) project - https://github.com/jarfa/ML_from_scratch/. Check my commit history if you suspect me of copying you ;)

I don't think I'll be implementing as many algorithms as you though, I should force myself to work on more projects outside my comfort zone.

Oh, cool! Haha, that's unfortunate. Maybe I should have done a better job finding an original name. Good luck to you anyways!
