Free code camp is a pretty comprehensive resource for learning web development. It's intended to be started from zero and has enough material to get to an entry-level of expertise in full-stack development using popular frameworks like React, Express, and Bootstrap.

Net Ninja very useful MERN stack tutorials. Also has videos on Flutter, Firebase, Vue, Python, etc.

hm#2374 general advice

Colab is a great way to get started hacking using the below resources; it comes with most of the packages you'll need without configuration and also comes with free access to GPUs, substantially speeding up many ML workflows compared to consumer hardware.

Deep Learning

For deep learning specifically, the simplest way to get started is with the fastai MOOC. It only requires a bit of Python and high school math, and gets you building deep neural nets in things like image recognition and NLP with decently modern techniques. From there the deeplearning.ai specialization may be a good further step, or you can just start diving into reading research papers/hacking, searching anything you don't know on the web.

General ML

A free introduction to machine learning is Andrew Ng's course on Coursera. However, if you can afford purchasing a book (or can acquire the book through other means,) Hands-On Machine Learning by Aurélien Géron is excellent, and covers a lot of things the MOOC doesn't, like decision trees.

Cryptographic Security

Cryptopals is a set of programming challenges centered around real-world cryptographic attacks. While they require programming ability, the math is not very high-level, at least for the first few challenges, and covers fundamental concepts such as RSA, key exchange, and hash collisions.
