    Andrew Ng's courses are excellent. Another pretty good Coursera course is Machine Learning Foundations from the University of Washington. It is very high level and novice friendly. While it covers non of the math and very little programming it does give a nice quick introduction to the most popular ML techniques out there and when to use them. It all depends on what level you are interested in starting. They also have follow up courses that go deeper into the different techniques.
