I wasn't able to participate in the Stanford Machine Learning experimental class last fall because of time constraints, but I'm fascinated by ML and would like to experiment with it.

What are the ebooks, blogs, user groups, getting started articles, etc. out there that you like most?

Thanks so much!

I almost forgot, there's a great thread on this topic on Quora as well:

The class is starting again in three weeks: https://www.coursera.org/course/ml.

I'm pretty much in the same boat as you. Looking forwards to it!
