Among all resources, how should a novice start learning Deep Learning?


I've seen thousands of resources on Deep Learning. From books and courses, to blog posts and YT videos. I feel like there's too many resources, and I can't choose one[0].

What do you recommend to someone who's familiar with programming and is comfortable with math, but has no experience in Deep Learning?

[0]: To find the best resource, you'd have to read all of them, but that defeats the purpose!

You're trying to optimize (finding "the best" resource in a field you know little about) when you could use that time to actually learn and, ironically, refine your Knowledge for what a good resource is.

Many of the most popular resources are good. Pick one. Get started. Learn from it. Pick the second one. Repeat. You'll then know what you lack and where to improve.

This is opposed to spending weeks and months trying to find the right one.

This is valid for many endeavors and many people spend years preparing/searching for the right setup/resources instead of just starting.
