I’d suggest:

https://fast.ai - good intro on practical neural networks.

I wrote a guide to ML based NLP. We identify if a sentence is a question, statement or command using neural networks:

The truth is you don’t need to understand all the math right away with neural networks. Mostly it’s getting an understanding of why you use a given layer, bias, etc and when. Once you get some intuition then I’d learn the math.

That’s at least how I instruct others. In any case, there are lots of guides for any flavor. I’d start with deep learning and focus on the “practical” then move to the “theoretical”.
