A bit easy (python wise) but maybe that's just a reflection of personal experience / practice. The contest is easy to digest (week to week) and the intuitions are well thought of in their explanation.

This course has a very deep explanation of deep learning. At first, I thought it would be tough for me to learn and understand this, but the way Ng sir explained is just awesome.

Really good intro to neural networks! Also it gives you some info about python if you are not so familiar with python, but you know how to write programs in some other languages.

Amazing introduction to the topic. I've been following Prof Andrew for log time now (started with his CS229 course). He makes the topic so easy to understand. Thanks Professor :)

This is the best deep learning course! Good explanations! Thank you for begining with linear regression and not with biology) There are good lessons about backprop and deep nets!

It gives good intuition. but felt that exercises were more copy paste of appropriate concepts than programming. I kept tripping thinking I had to use my mind during programming.

Strong introduction to neural networks. My only critique is that a lot of the projects basically come down to copy and pasting things instead of having to reason up from scratch
