So having completed the ‘Python Specialisation’ course on Coursera I’ve just started the Machine Learning course.  Having done some research this really does appear to be ‘The’ course to start exploring the world of Data Science.

This course also provides the opportunity to learn some Octave and Matlab so along with Python I think this provides a pretty useful skill-set to embrace the infinite challenges and unlimited opportunities that the world of Machine Learning and Data Science in general offers.
