I've heard good things about Andrew Ng's Coursera machine learning class, and it's free:

There is a free intro to data science class on Udacity as well:

Lastly, there's always Kaggle, which has plenty of resources to learn from, and competitions as well:

I can vouch for Andrew Ng's class. Its really top notch.
So looking through this 'track', I see one course which seems like it might be more central to the discipline, "Intro to Data Science"[0]. Has anybody had a chance to compare this one against Bill Howe's "Introduction to Data Science"[1] on Coursera?
