Google's Machine Learning Crash Course is a free course on Google Developers teaching machine learning fundamentals: supervised learning, neural networks, and best practices. It uses TensorFlow and includes interactive exercises. The course is Google's official ML introduction for developers. After finishing, you understand how machine learning works and can train models. The main limitation: the course is broad, not deep. It covers many topics quickly, so depth comes from additional study and practice.
Over 500,000 learners have completed Google's ML Crash Course since its launch, making it one of the most popular free ML introductions (source: Google Developer community).
