Last Updated on June 7, 2016
Where do you begin in machine learning?
Is actually breaking ground and getting started a question of motivation?
In this post discover the personal story of how finding the landmarks in machine learning made the difference for one software engineer.

I received an inspiring email from Cliff Bryant in the new year.
Cliff is a senior software engineer looking to get started in machine learning. He has started his journey. In his email he was pointing out that it was not an issue of motivation, but an issue of finding landmarks helped him to get started.
I wanted to share his email (with his permission of course) because I think it is inspiring if you are still trying to figure out how to get started.
My initial problem with machine learning, and this went on for several years, was that I could not see the forest for the trees.
