Best machine learning Resources(for non-experts :P)

I am a beginner and I have spent some time on finding what are some of the good resources for ML.
LECTURES

ML from Coursera by Andrew Ng.(Sexy/awesome)
join the class when class starts next time(do advanced track) .
https://www.coursera.org/course/ml 

Andrew Ng machine learning lectures 
http://see.stanford.edu/see/courseinfo.aspx?coll=348ca38a-3a6d-4052-937d-cb017338d7b1
see lecture notes because sometimes lectures are not clearly explained but still is good for introductory ML.

Linear Algebra By Gilbert Strang
Video lectures at MIT OCW(I believe the best on internet)

Programming assignments is time taking in here.  

Neural Networks for Machine Learning by Geoffrey Hinton

https://www.coursera.org/course/neuralnets

A lot of lectures related to AI by Coursera
https://www.coursera.org/category/cs-ai

The above picture shows books recommended by Stephen Gould.

If you want to start a read then read lecture notes by Andrew Ng. 
http://cs229.stanford.edu/materials.html

A cool intro to machine learning with python examples
Programming Collective Intelligence: Building Smart Web 2.0 Applications by Toby Segaran

If you want to read a book on ML then read 

• The Elements of Statistical Learning(good book freely downloadable)

http://www.stanford.edu/~hastie/local.ftp/Springer/ESLII_print5.pdf

• Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning by Christopher Bishop

• Machine Learning by Tom Mitchell 
• Machine Learning A Probabilistic Perspective by Kevin Murphy(I choose this)

some more resources on ML class resources link by Andrew Ng:
https://share.coursera.org/wiki/index.php/ML:Useful_Resources
For optimization read 

• Convex Optimization by Stephen Boyd(good book freely downloadable)

http://www.stanford.edu/~boyd/cvxbook/bv_cvxbook.pdf

• Non-Linear Programming by Dimitri P Bertsekas

For Scalability of Machine Learning read

• Scaling Up Machine Learning: Parallel and Distributed Approaches 

by Ron Bekkerman, Mikhail Bilenko, John Langford

For Graphical Models

• Probabilistic Graphical Models: Principles and Techniques by Daphne Koller 

A very strong ML community:
