I teach that the best way to get started is to practice on datasets that have specific traits. So How Do You Practice In A Targeted Way? For more information see my post “ Machine Learning for Programmers: Leap from developer to machine learning practitioner“. I teach a top-down approach to machine learning where I encourage you to learn a process for working a problem end-to-end, map that process onto a tool and practice the process on data in a targeted way.

Should you collect your own or use one off the shelf?.If you are interested in practicing applied machine learning, you need datasets on which to practice. Photo by Phil Roeder, some rights reserved.
