Guide on starting Machine Learning

This is a rough guide on starting one's journey in Machine Learning. This entails that, if I were to start my Machine Learning journey I would follow this guide. But, different people cope with new information with different methods so one can hollistically choose only necessary steps that they intent to learn based on their experience. The course links that I have attached might be outdated and there might be other updated courses avaialble as well. Please use this guide with a pinch of salt, look at the flow of the guide, and do your own research to learn the concepts catered to your understanding techniques. There are many ongoing competitions also but start basic completed competitions first.
