A Beautiful WWW posted a great primer to machine learning. Among the recommendations:

The Elements of Statistical Learning: Data Mining, Inference, and Prediction, Second Edition (Amazon or free PDF)
The open source stats package R
Some data sets from UCI Machine Learning Repository
The MIT OpenCourseware machine learning course

Though that’s enough to get you started, the author promises to add on as time goes by.
