CS246: Mining Massive Data Sets

I've taken the MOOC version of this course and it was very poorly explained. I hope the content and lecturing has changed since 2013 because the content itself is really interesting.

I wasn't impressed with the quality of the book as well. I did learn quite a few methods there (minhash) that I got to use later so thanks for that, but compared to MLPR, Learning from Data, or TESL books the quality of the former pales.

Can you clarify what the MLPR and TESL books refer to?

Machine Learning and Pattern Recognition

The Elements of Statistical Learning

The title of Bishop's book is Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning.

I've taken a more recent version of this course and it seems that concepts were explained pretty well - particularly, the graphics in the slides were good at explaining the various algorithms step by step.

MLPR and TESL, as much as I like them, won't help you much when you have massive amounts of data, i.e. too much to fit into memory.

That's correct. But I was comparing the way the content was explained to you.
