If you’ve ever tried to learn neural networks from a standard textbook, you know the pain. You are hit with dense matrix calculus on page one, abstract biological analogies on page two, and by page three, you’re questioning your career choice.

Buy the hardcover or PDF. Keep a notebook and a pencil nearby. Work through every derivation in Chapter 4 (Backpropagation). If you do that, you will know more about neural networks than 80% of people who claim to "do AI." Have you read Satish Kumar’s book? Did it help you survive your neural networks course?
