References/tutorials about data mining and machine learning

I am learning data analytics and I wonder if there are some good references and tutorials about machine learning, data analytics and data mining?

What I'm searching for is an understandable reference/tutorial, which isn't very technical and isn't very basic either, in other words the material begins with the basic steps towards advanced steps.

Thank you.

I recommend "An Introduction to Statistical Learning" (ISL) by Gareth James, Daniela Witten, Trevor Hastie and Rob Tibshirani. The book is available online.

The book covers a number of topics in ML and for each topic there is a "lab" in R (code is also available for Python, in fact there are several pages on Github covering the labs).

ISL is not too technical but gives a sound introduction. In case you want to advance on some topics, you can switch to the advanced book "Elements of Statistical Learning" (ELS).
