Deep learning.

In fact, I want to start the year with a MOOC or a video course on deep learning. I went over the current offerings, and am hesitating between Andrew Ng's new Deep Learning course at Coursera in 5 parts, and self-studying through the cs231n Stanford course (it has all the videos, assignments etc. posted). Can anyone help me decide between the two, or offer something else? I'm looking for mathematical understanding as well as hands-on experience, and am not afraid of math.

More Japanese (going for N3 in December) . Android game programming (iOS is apparently more profitable, but Java aligns better with my day job and lack of Apple devices). Possibly some deep learning.

After learning casually for over 3 years, I'm going to finally give the JLPT a try. I actually did a practice N4 test and the grammar was easy, but vocab is what really held me back

From my personal experience I would recommend Andrew NG's courses. (I am on the second one right now). I have done fast.ai's first course which is low on math and more practical (you directly jump to coding, and then try to make some sense of things.) CS231n is definitely a great option, however I chose coursera because I needed deadlines/reminders of Coursera to keep me motivated and finish something. If you are looking for more options, there are lot more courses listed here in Machine Learning category : https://github.com/prakhar1989/awesome-courses however I don't know if someone has reviewed them.
