2 pointssatpaparmar4 comments

I am starting my initial research work on Machine learning and Data miniing with special interest in web mining. I am doing embedded system programming since last couple of years and can program in C language. I appreciate if you can share youre views and suggestions on few areas :

a)From where should I start by programming for web i.e learning curve involve, language, plateform,books, blogs, open source projects.

b)books suggestion for mathematical (statistics & probability) foundation for web mining, machine learning.

c)How to follow latest devvelopment in web mining and web research.

A) and C) are way too wide ranging for a comment here. Google is the most concise answer anyone can give. And sadly, yes, please spell check, grammar check and proof read things you post on the internet. You're clearly not a native speaker, but putting in as much effort as you can to look like one is important on the Internet.

1. Proper grammar. 2. Proper spelling. 3. Proper punctuation. 4. google

1. Proper grammar. 2. Proper spelling. 3. Proper punctuation

C'mon , give the guy a break ...

Thanks for your suggestions.

I understand that 'Google' is 'the answer' for my query; however I posted my query here for some specific reasons. .

I am into embedded system programming and I feel there are some right and wrong approaches to starting learning programming for embedded system. I believe I could have better utilized my time doing right stuff then wasting my time on distractions.

Similarly I consider most of audience of Hackers news is 'doers', and active practitioner of their respective field. I may get book references from Amazon but 'doer' can give a wider perspective on the subject and can greatly accelerate learning curve by sharing his learning curve.

Technological growth is exponential and best practices and process gets obsolete much faster. Cycles are getting shorter and shorter. A new learner has to be more agile and open for ideas to accelerate his learning. My intention is to have an open discussion on state of web development, web research with focus on web mining.

I am working on my 'English skills' will try to keep things clean as much as possible.
