For beginners:
A. For somewhat theoretical approach to machine learning
If you have less than a month to study it: Read this book.
If you have a semester: Read this book along with lecture series by Yaser's on youtube.
B. For more applied approach to machine learning
If you have semester: Go through Andrew Ng's lecture series
For intermediate to advanced:
If you have a semester: Read "Machine Learning - A Probabilistic Perspective" by Kevin Murphy (expensive but good reference book).
Other classic machine learning textbooks, if you have more time:
PRML - Bishop (The first book I read on Machine Learning. Very accessible. More detailed than Yasir's book, but less than Kevin's book)
Nature of Statistical Machine Learning - Vapnik (One of the pioneer in this field. Extremely theoretical approach)
Elements of Statistical Learning - Hastie et al (free pdf copy available)
