note that it's a draft and some pages are missing.

There is a course by one of the authors with good lecture notes: http://www.stat.purdue.edu/~vishy/introml/introml.html

Also note that this book is not for the faint of heart.

For introductory material you may want to take a look at some of these courses:

Thank you very much for these resources.

I've found Andrew Ng's notes to be very comprehensive and very relevant to the topics discussed in his online lectures : http://academicearth.org/courses/machine-learning (the notes are linked to on the individual videos)
