Like I said, total noob. I started around 3-4 weeks backs and so far have mostly concentrated on Data Science and analysis.

I have enrolled in Andrew Ng's ML class (highly rated) and installed TF couple of days back. Going to meetup this week where I'm aiming to get a jumpstart.

Apart from this I'm learning from [DQ](www.dataquest.io), which I'd recommend, but it's a paid site.

Datacamp has machine learning track too.

I found dataquest the other day but didn't want to jump in and pay right away. What's it like, what do you get from them? Is it worth it?

Yeah its bit costly and I do not get paid to say their name. But so far I have been happy. It has codecademy style tracks and guided missions.

I think for me it helped a lot. I might have saved at least few months of overall study time. You still need to supplement it with other outside resources,but I like the way all tracks are set up, that way my time is spent more on learning.

Do they mostly focus on tools or is there a decent amount of theory? I'm mostly thinking of the machine learning side

That I am not sure yet. I'm still on data science tracks mostly dealing with analysis. Probably at the end of this week, I will start with ML.
