    For a 15 hours course (it took me far longer than that), it does pretty well on presenting the basic theory necessary to apply it in easy but still increasingly complex exercises. It works on their own servers, so no installation is required, and it is based on Python while using the TensorFlow library (which makes sense, being both from Google).
