Some good books on Machine Learning: Machine Learning: The Art and Science of Algorithms that Make Sense of Data (Flach): http://www.amazon.com/Machine-Learning-Science-Algorithms-Se... Machine Learning: A Probabilistic Perspective (Murphy): http://www.amazon.com/Machine-Learning-Probabilistic-Perspec... Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning (Bishop): http://www.amazon.com/Pattern-Recognition-Learning-Informati...…

Those are really useful. Thank you. Books are pricey though!

I know...some of them are indeed expensive!

At least the latter two ("ISL" and "ESL") are free to download though.

I would concentrate on just Andrew Ng's course until you finished it. Even though the problem sets are solved using Matlab/Octave you will learn just about all the theory you need to later try different frameworks written in different languages. I earned a 99.6% grade in that class (I have a few decades of AI experience, so I took the class as an excellent review) and I feel that every minute spent on this class was worthwhile.

Thanks for the advice. Right now, I am concentrating only on the course. I just wanted to keep some resources for later.

I'll keep this in mind.
