I would start with the Intro to Machine Learning Coursera course, and then the Intro to Neural Networks course. That will get you to a point that you can understand current papers. The demo I showed actually showed that it's possible to design an algorithm in minutes that previously would have taken years, but combining machines and people. So I do strongly believe that machine learning allows us to create new, better, programs more quickly than before!
