Ask HN: Is this a good starting course for deep learning?

Got a promo email for this course this morning. Last day for the promo, it seems. Is this a good course for someone with programming background but not much knowledge of ML, DL etc?

Also wondered this but it seems a bit pricy (no ratings - pure black box) when compared to Andrew NG's course or the one of Coursera which already have great ratings.

I therefore decided to pass on this one.
