The book that doesn't overwhelm nor bore me

Usually I would struggle, read very slowly and potentially drop technical book. It can feel dry to consume technical information on numerous pages. I love Head First series where you have to do a bit of theory, fun speech bubbles and hands-on exercise. This time it’s similar approach, but slightly different.

My colleague recommended me to start from Machine learning basics before diving into AI. I do not know yet how LLMs work under the hood in precise details, but thought knowing how ML does would be a good foundational start. 

I have started reading The StatQuest Illustrated Guide to Machine Learning by Josh Starmer, PhD. He is very good at explaining complex systems in easily digestible bite size content. The only thing is left to figure out how to practise it, or maybe I don't need to. Don’t know yet the answer to that question.
