Had been working on https://www.tutorack.com/ for a while - aggregates online resources (not just MOOCs). Haven't updated it in sometime but you should find something useful

Here is a compiled list of resources for erlang: https://www.tutorack.com/search?subject=erlang and for elixir: https://www.tutorack.com/search?subject=elixir .

Disclaimer - I work at the above service

Some resources to get you started - not including any coursera or udacity courses since others have already mentioned it.

Mathematical Monk - https://www.youtube.com/user/mathematicalmonk#p/c/0/ydlkjtov... (includes a probability primer)

Awesome Courses - https://github.com/prakhar1989/awesome-courses - its a very extensive list of university courses including subjects apart from Machine Learning as well

Programming Collective Intelligence - http://www.amazon.com/programming-collective-intelligence-bu... - heard very good reviews about this

Many other resources available apart from the above. You can access more such resources at http://www.tutorack.com/search?subject=machine%20learning

I think its a good idea to go through one or more beginner level courses like that offered by Andrew Ng on Coursera and then do an actual project.

We don't charge a commission or listing fees to the tutors or other resources being listed. We are more like a search engine instead of a platform where you transact. So, how the transaction takes place between student and teacher doesn't really matter. Infact, this is why we can provide other more relevant resources for learning apart from listing just teachers.

Thank you - really appreciate your offer for help. We do want it to be available globally. However, right now we dont really have enough data and resources to serve users across the globe. I'll probably ask for your help when we do expand globally.

It would be great to get some feedback from HN on this project. The main hypothesis is that a quickstart guide to travel planning information greatly simplifies the effort that goes into travel planning. Of course, it hasnt yet been validated. Any feedback, good or bad, is useful.

Its mostly a side project as of now, although I do want to turn it into a venture if possible. I couldnt find your email in your profile. Send me an email and lets discuss what we can do. My email is in my profile. I would be glad to collaborate.

Hey thanks for letting me know of the bugs. Presently I am not disallowing repeated submissions. Earlier submitting a review required you to be logged in. However, I thought that might put off users who didnt want to go to the hassle of signing up with an account. But yes that is something I need to solve. Also, you are correct - there is not much user input validation. So lots of work that needs to be done.

Thanks for the compliments. There could be a bug. Thanks for letting me know.

Thats a great idea. Twitter can be a good source of seed content. Thanks for suggesting.

Not much presently. Its just restricted to the bar chart. Infact that is mostly another form of visualisation of the content. There isnt much content presently for doing sentiment analysis where you could show a goodness meter for something based on the words being submitted as reviews. I am not finding much time to work on new features between collecting seed content, finding users, getting feedback, etc. Of course, that cannot be an excuse for not getting the features done. Infact there are lots of other items in the pipeline that need to be done - eg. spell check, more general search - presently its mostly exact match with some help from autocomplete, social integration, chat, etc.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Hey thanks for your feedback. We do need a logo and a favicon. Any suggestions for getting a logo designed?

Hey thanks for the suggestion. I was also thinking of doing something along those lines. However, dont have enough content presently. Some kind of sentiment analysis would be useful.

I think the user submitted reviews/opinions would be very useful. Since review submission is easy, probably a lot of people might choose to submit their opinions. This would mean that we can asymptotically approach the true crowd opinion about something. This is definitely a hypothesis but the content in such a case would be very useful. Lead generation, brand awareness measurement, quick buy/dont buy decision helper, random content exploration, etc. are some possible uses.

Hey thanks for the feedback. You are right need to look at the UI. Also, thanks for pointing out the bug. Main issue presently is that I am not getting much feedback. Is this form of review/opinion visualisation something that people want? There is a network effects problem.

Hi HN, I am developing LeanReviews with a goal to make it easier to share opinions about anything people care about. People often have lots of opinions about lots of things but dont usually write elaborate reviews. LeanReviews makes sharing quick reviews almost trivial. I had submitted this to HN about a week ago but could not get any response. So I revamped some things and am resubmitting. I hope I get some feedback - any feedback is good feedback. Thanks.

Not specifically because of this article, but on reading the notes in the series, I am truly amazed by this level and clarity of thought. Is this even teachable or does it arise more out of experience, can one do something to acquire such clarity of thought ?
