The Machine Learning Starter Kit — from your first line of Python to deployed models
A 172-page machine learning starter kit with 26 chapters. Every code listing was actually executed — the outputs on the page are the real ones.

Code that ran
Every listing was executed before printing. What you see is what Python returned.
26 chapters
From Python basics through algorithms, evaluation, and deployment — in one arc.
57-term glossary
Every ML term you’ll hit in docs and interviews, defined in plain language.
We print the real output. Even when it surprises us.
Most ML books show idealized results. In the Starter Kit, every listing was executed and its output captured verbatim — including the chapter where a simple baseline beat the fancy model.
That’s not a bug. Learning why it happened is the lesson.
# Chapter 14 — comparing models on the same split for name, model in models.items(): model.fit(X_train, y_train) acc = model.score(X_test, y_test) print(f"{name:<22} {acc:.3f}") LogisticRegression 0.891 RandomForest 0.874 GradientBoosting 0.882 # Yes — the simplest model won. Chapter 14 # explains exactly why.

The Kit is written for people who learn by running code, not just reading about it. It’s a perfect fit if you are:
- A roadmap follower: you’re working through the free 90-Day Roadmap and want the code companion.
- A hands-on learner: you understand things when you can run them, break them, and fix them.
- A career changer: you need working projects, not just theory, to show employers.
- A busy self-learner: you’d rather pay €19 than spend weeks assembling scattered tutorials.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from the free 90-Day Roadmap?
The roadmap is a complete, free strategy: it tells you what to learn each day and links you to resources. The Starter Kit is the execution shortcut: 172 pages of explained, tested code so you don’t have to assemble it yourself. You can absolutely succeed with just the roadmap — the Kit saves you time.
What format is the book?
A downloadable PDF, delivered instantly after purchase through Gumroad. Read it on any device; it’s yours forever, including future updates to this edition.
Do I need prior experience?
No. Chapter 0 starts with setting up Python from scratch. If you already code, the early chapters go quickly and the algorithm and evaluation chapters are where you’ll spend your time. If you’d like extra Python practice alongside the book, check our Python courses and Python books pages.
Is the code really executed?
Yes — every listing was run before printing, and the outputs on the page are captured verbatim from those runs. When a result was surprising, we kept it and explained it rather than swapping in a prettier number.
What tools do I need?
A laptop that runs a browser. Everything in the book uses free tools: Python, Jupyter, Google Colab, and scikit-learn. No paid software.
What comes after the Starter Kit?
Once you’ve finished the book, keep building: work through our free tutorials, practice on real datasets, and specialize with our curated statistics courses and AI books.
Can I get a refund?
If the Kit isn’t what you expected, reply to your purchase email within 14 days and we’ll refund you. No forms, no friction.
Not ready to buy? Start with the free Roadmap.
The 90-Day ML Roadmap is completely free and genuinely complete. Get it, start learning, and come back for the Kit if you want the code companion.
