So I'm currently using "OpenCV University"'s playlist on YouTube to get myself up to speed with computer vision, and this has lead into a spiraling staircase down into the depths of CNNs.

Started off here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZWgEPOVnuM&list=PL6e-Bu0cqf...

Ended up here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5XYLA2HLmo&list=PL6e-Bu0cqf...

And after that, I've had some recent projects that I love to mess around with such as a better license plate detection API than what currently exists for U.K. plates, and once I completed those two courses I had a good enough baseline to work from where I'd encounter a repository and google around if I needed to learn something new.

Short, simple, not painful etc. and I don't have the advanced mathematical background (nor the background within the American mathematical notation) that I'd need to digest the MIT course set, so this learning path has been the best for me. I'm no expert whatsoever, though.
