Hello everyone,
I found a free interactive data mining book named "the data mining hypertextbook" that can be accessed online for free:
http://www.hypertextbookshop.com/dataminingbook/public_version/contents/contents.html
It covers the following topics: (1) decision trees, (2) itemset and association rule mining (Apriori, FPGrowth, ...), (3) visualization and (4) cluster analysis (K-means, DBScan...)
I checked it quickly and it seems like a reasonable introduction to some topics. What is interesting is that it offers some Java applet for testing how some algorithms work: decision trees, apriori, cluseters etc. that let you test some algorithms. Also there is some kind of slideshows in some chapters.
