For those of you interested in this stuff, this course (10-702) is the second in a series. The 10-701 course, "Intro to Machine Learning", is a fantastic course as well, even if just for the exercises. This year's version is here [1], you can find lecture notes, links to lectures posted on YouTube, homeworks, readings, etc. You can also just google "10-701" and see a lot of previous course websites with similar material.
For what it's worth, nowadays, the problem isn't availability of learning material. This stuff is being literally given away. Its that you, the student, has to really dedicate time to the material. The first homework assignment for the 10-701 class wasn't even that difficult (relatively speaking) and it still took me over ten hours to finish. Persevere! It's worth it.
