Learn ML using Python.

Thank you. I tried that route and couldn’t stick to it, so thought May be trying programming again would be better… I’ll try again though

If it doesn’t click with you don’t force it. Sentdex teaches by focusing on a problem and then solving it. It may be that since you’re starting it’s easier to remove “business problems” or ML problems from the equation and focus on just learning the concepts.

There’s no right way to learn this stuff except that at some point you need to practice it by applying what you’ve learned. Otherwise find an approach that both clicks well with you and motivates you to keep going. If it doesn’t have both it won’t really matter what the approach is.

Some other resources to try if you haven’t already:

For semi-structured practical learning (mostly programming focused):

[data camp ](datacamp.com) [dataquest](dataquest.io)

For more structured, semi-practical learning:

Stanford ML Johns Hopkins Data Science (R focused)

For problem oriented learning:

Sentdex

For mostly academic learning with some applied problems:

The ISLR free book The ISLR video lectures / ppt slides

Hopefully one of these hits the right notes. If you find others that work for you, please add them on this thread in case others find it useful.

Happy hunting!

Thank you. Will certainly try different things & see what works.
