Does this use tensor flow?

From the site: "Complete learning systems in TensorFlow will be introduced via projects and assignments."

I think intro to machine learning https://www.udacity.com/courses/ud120 is the prerequisite to this course

Yes it does. I wonder if it's overkill but Google has to push tensorflow to the market some how

Purely video-based though, no materials at all, no transcript. That's a no-go for me.

Videos are also really short. If you don't already know how neural networks work, you won't learn it here.

This, I think, is more of a library demonstration than anything.

I must have gone blind, thank you :)

While TensorFlow may be not yet as mature as Theano or Torch, I love their tutorial: https://www.tensorflow.org/versions/master/tutorials/. It's clean, concrete, and more general than introduction to their API. (Before I couldn't find anything comparable in Theano or Torch.)

In any case, I regret waiting so long for learning deep learning. (I thought that I needed to have many years of CUDA/C++ knowledge (I have none); but in fact, what I need to to know the chain rule, convolutions etc - things I've learnt long time ago.)

It does start really basic, with a single logistic classifier. I think you'd have to be pretty motivated to learn how neural networks work from this course, but it seems possible. If you don't know any machine learning at all, then you probably wouldn't be able to.
