I also liked Andrew Ng’s machine learning course. It is a great introduction to the ideas and techniques of the field.
I have since started diving into a more serious treatment of the topic by studying Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning by Bishop, and I will say that the knowledge from the course has definitely helped, but its main benefit was in getting me interested in the topic.
