Are there any resources for someone wanting to get started looking into coding/understanding deep learning algorithms? By which i mean, i'm already a data scientist. I'm not looking for software that runs it for me per se, i'm looking for resources that could let me implement/research it myself. I've seen a lot of hype. Some of the claims I've seen people make for deep learning I know must be objectively false and sound like a lot of the hype/marketing for other machine learning techniques, but the ideas also look somewhat promising, so i'm really curious to get involved and at least be able to make an educated decision...

The http://deeplearning.net/ http://deeplearning.net/ is a go to website for beginners. You would find everything from datasets to experiment to tutorials. This subject requires a lot of match and ML background though and would need sometime to catch up to the latest research. Coding part will involve GPU code if you want to go truely in with large data sets. If you want to just apply the algorithms to specific problem without diving deep in to its theory there are few kits available in Python and C++. There a tech talks and other videos on tutorial page that might be good starting point.
