Machine learning is a huge topic in computer science, and most of the standard work out there (like "Machine Learning" from Sam Mitchell, ISBN 0070428077 or "Data Mining. Practical Machine Learning Tools and Techniques" by Witten/Frank, ISBN: 978-0120884070) are hard to get into at first.
This book makes a very good introduction into the topic. It is really just a an overview, but it is a good one. The Author uses python code and open web APIs to introduce the most important aspects in machine learning. I recommend to start here and then continue with the books from Witten/Frank and Sam Mitchell.
Some decent knowledge of programming is required to benefit from this book.
