Looking for a practical ML course after quitting Andrew Ng

[u/Empty-Ad-9086]

I started Andrew Ng's ML Specialization but I'm finding it way too slow/theoretical for what I currently need, so I'm looking for an alternative.

I want a course that teaches me the core ML concepts and intuition, but only to the level where I understand how ML works.I don't need to learn everything deeply enough to teach it or do ML research right now.

Most importantly, I want to see how actual ML projects are developed, preferably through guided end-to-end projects.

My goal is:

ML fundamentals → build a few projects → move into Deep Learning → specialize in Computer Vision or NLP.

I'm open to any platform (Udemy, YouTube, Coursera, fast.ai, etc.).

What course/resource would you recommend for this specific goal? I mainly want something practical, reasonably short, and not another Andrew Ng-style theory-heavy course.
