Question

Programming

Prompt good books / courses / etc on machine learning for a person far from this topic (rus / eng)
I want to master

Answer 1

Machine learning covers a fairly wide range of tasks, different areas are not completely unrelated to each other, but it cannot be said that it is impossible to understand one of these areas without a complete understanding of the others.
If the goal is to master machine learning in the totality of its tasks and areas, then you will have to pay for it 2-3-4 years of your life, as brainick said .
If you are interested in a specific class of applied problems, then you can dive deep enough into one narrow area and become a specialist in it. It is quite possible to learn the theoretical foundations for the time during which you study a separate programming language. But there is no limit to improving practical skills, just as there is no limit to improving the knowledge of a programming language.
A general idea of ​​the tasks of machine learning will give you the opportunity to choose for yourself the range of tasks and specialization. A special machine learning wiki is available in Russian https://www.machinelearning.ru/ - for now, a pale shadow of the English wiki (may develop over time).
For those who are not afraid of English - a large selection .
