Surprised this isn't higher. It was absolutely incredible at the time. It was cutting edge: the now well known optimizer RMSProp was presented by Hinton in this course and not even published anywhere else; people cite the lecture slides for this course in their papers when they use it. The field moves fast so it's a little outdated now, but this course gave me a strong and deep foundation for understanding the techniques of deep learning. I was able to apply it at work later with great success. I think this course was more worthwhile than Ng's.
