To learn more, I highly recommend the book by Michael Nielsen
http://neuralnetworksanddeeplearning….
The book walks through the code behind the example in these videos, which you can find here:

MNIST database:

Also check out Chris Olah’s blog:

His post on Neural networks and topology is particular beautiful, but honestly all of the stuff there is great.
And if you like that, you’ll love the publications at distill:
