I am sitting in the same boat. Being a web developer for a couple of years, I wanted to try out a different domain. So I started to take Andrew Ng's course on Coursera [0]. Highly recommended. I supplement the course with audio and text by listening to the Machine Learning Guide Podcast [1] and by reading The Master Algorithm [2].
In addition, I started to apply my learnings in JavaScript [3]. Even though it's not the best language for ML, it makes it simpler to learn only one new thing and stick to known technologies for the rest. I have lined up ~7 articles about ML in JavaScript, so if you are interested, you can keep an eye on it :)
