Google Machine Learning Crash Course

Google announced a new course called Machine Learning Crash Course as an introduction to Machine Learning. The course clocks in around 15 hours of lessons, but would suspect another 40 hours of practice would be required.

I would recommend having at least one Nvidia 1070 or 1080Ti if you plan on doing anything serious with machine learning.

There are a number of cloud solutions that eliminates the need to have your own GPUS:

The course seems perfect for anyone who wants to learn Machine Learning but may not have any experience or knowledge at all. It seems focused on the absolute beginner, but understanding Python is important and something you should already know. Machine learning doesn't require years of experience with Python but will require a good knowledge of the core fundamentals.

After you learn the basics, give your hand at Kaggle competition to solve real-world problems with machine learning and see how you do compare to others. The Titanic Kaggle Competition is a great place to start.
