+1 for Tom Mitchell's book. Although it may appear a little outdated, it is an excellent introduction to ML. Highly recommend doing the exercises (in whatever language you'll be working, not necessarily in C), especially the Neural Nets face recognition one. The book doesn't cover SVM, so you might want to learn about those elsewhere. Also if you don't have a good background in basic applied stats (linear models, logistic regression, etc), I suggest you brush up on that as well.
