Two courses I've found are very good for Neural Networks & Deep Learning are Karpathy's CS231n from Stanford[0] and Nando de Freitas's Deep Learning class from Oxford[1][2]. Been through parts of both and they seem really good. That said, I'd bet that both of these classes would be a lot more meaningful after either Hastie's class (listed here) or Andrew Ng's course.
