#123b1b's series on Linear Algebra is essential for an intuitive understanding of the topic: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZHQObOWTQDPD3MizzM2x...
(Really anything by 3b1b)

#13Over the past few years, I've watched a few courses on Udacity, Coursera and EdX. I prefer taking ad-hoc courses to fill knowledge gaps (statistics, AI, programming, math, etc.), so I can't give a full review of the complete Nanodegrees, Certificates, XSeries, etc. I usually watch the lessons as needed without completing the entire course; mixing and matching MOOC courses with video learning sites (e.g. Datacamp, Youtube channels, Khan Academy, Egghead, etc.)
If I had to pick a MOOC platform, I prefer Udacity's more hands-on approach, but enjoy courses on EdX and Coursera. The quality of all three MOOC platforms is excellent. It's an amazing time for autodidacts!
If you're starting from scratch, without any background knowledge, the certificate programs with access to mentors are a great place to start. The curriculum is designed by industry professionals and/or experienced professors. This saves you time, keeps you focused and offers a place to get help when needed.

#14Programming is for everybody on Coursera. Taught with Python, extremely approachable for non programmers. Teaches you fun stuff including how to use sqlite and how to scrape websites, use JSON APIs, and more!

#18I like the dialogue between Hastie and Tibshirani in their statistical learning course from Stanford [1]. I found the accompanying ISL book and c-cran depositories helpful for when I wanted to go deeper beyond the lecture.

#19I took the Programming Languages course on Coursera which is so far the best course for me. It changed the way I learn any new programming language.

I see that they have split the course into 2 parts.
