Programming Machine Learning: From Coding to Deep Learning by Paolo Perrotta

Machine learning can be intimidating, with its reliance on math and algorithms that most programmers don't encounter in their regular work. Take a hands-on approach, writing the Python code yourself, without any libraries to obscure what's really going on. Iterate on your design, and add layers of complexity as you go. Create perceptrons to classify data. Build neural networks to tackle more complex and sophisticated data sets.
