If you want to learn the fundamentals of ML I recommend a book, such as Deep Learning: Foundations and Concepts by Chris Bishop. If you insist on staying online, one option is https://course.fast.ai/ If you don't know ML I don't think you're going to learn much through ad hoc demos.

Checked out the book on your recommendation, and they even have a free online option on their site! Very generous: https://www.bishopbook.com/

I didn't know Bishop had released a new textbook. I will have to take a look at it. I wasn't the biggest fan of his Pattern Recognition book as I found it overly dense. I much preferred the Murphy and Alpaydin books.

EDIT: His son is co-author?
