The Self-Learner Resources on Web Development

I recently put together a list of resources on some resources I found useful when teaching myself JavaScript and HTML.

Machine Learning Books

Today I got kinda interested in learning more about machine learning.  I’ve work with simple neural networks, done a tiny bit of Bayesian networks and nothing with genetic programming so either way it should be pretty fun.

I put together a page on this topic at Sugar Code that has a bunch of books that look promising, plus some of them can be bought for next to nothing.

Also Peteris Krumins has an excellent page with a bunch of online video lectures that I’m going to start working through.
