I would read the Goodfellow book (though it is exactly as you describe). Beyond this, I would follow courses online depending on your interest, e.g.: - Stanford's CS231n (http://cs231n.stanford.edu http://cs231n.stanford.edu) for Computer Vision - Stanford's CS224n (http://web.stanford.edu/class/cs224n/ http://web.stanford.edu/class/cs224n/) for NLP They both have pretty solid exercises, which includes work like implementing back-propagation from first principles.
