**Resources:**
* scikit-learn's [machine learning map](http://scikit-learn.org/stable/tutorial/machine_learning_map/) may help you to choose the "best" model for your task.
* [Choosing a Machine Learning Classifier](http://blog.echen.me/2011/04/27/choosing-a-machine-learning-classifier/) is a short and highly readable comparison of several classification models, [Comparing supervised learning algorithms](http://www.dataschool.io/comparing-supervised-learning-algorithms/) is a model comparison table that I created, and [Supervised learning superstitions cheat sheet](http://ryancompton.net/assets/ml_cheat_sheet/supervised_learning.html) is a more thorough comparison (with links to lots of useful resources).

* [Machine Learning Done Wrong](http://ml.posthaven.com/machine-learning-done-wrong), [Machine Learning Gremlins](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tleeC-KlsKA) (31 minutes), [Clever Methods of Overfitting](http://hunch.net/?p=22), and [Common Pitfalls in Machine Learning](http://danielnee.com/?p=155) all offer thoughtful advice on how to avoid common mistakes in machine learning.
* [Practical machine learning tricks from the KDD 2011 best industry paper](http://blog.david-andrzejewski.com/machine-learning/practical-machine-learning-tricks-from-the-kdd-2011-best-industry-paper/) and Andrew Ng's [Advice for applying machine learning](http://cs229.stanford.edu/materials/ML-advice.pdf) include slightly more advanced advice than the resources above.

* edX's [Introduction to Computer Science and Programming Using Python](https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-computer-science-mitx-6-00-1x7) is apparently an excellent course if you want to get better at programming in Python.
* Coursera recently added many other data science-related [specializations and courses](https://www.coursera.org/browse/data-science?languages=en), most of which I am not familiar with. However, [CourseTalk](https://www.coursetalk.com/) is useful for reading reviews of online courses.
* Some additional courses are listed in the [Additional Resources](../README.md#additional-resources-1) section of the main README.
* I will also be teaching [my own online courses](http://www.dataschool.io/learn/), which will range in level from beginner to advanced. (Subscribe to my [email newsletter](http://www.dataschool.io/subscribe/) to be notified when courses are announced.)

Here is just a tiny selection of **books**:
* [An Introduction to Statistical Learning with Applications in R](http://www-bcf.usc.edu/~gareth/ISL/) is my favorite book on machine learning because of the thoughtful way in which the material is presented. The Statistical Learning course linked above uses it as the course textbook, and the [related videos](http://www.dataschool.io/15-hours-of-expert-machine-learning-videos/) are available on YouTube.
