Seems like a great idea. Would be cool to see more of these...

Of course C# seems like a horrible choice for learning about this sort of stuff, but maybe that's just me.

hmm, i don't really think C# has anything to do with it, other than just providing a vehicle for implementation of fundamental ideas of NN theory (imho ofcourse).

in my opinion, using mathematica (or some such) would have been a far saner choice, to get to the essence of the subject. also, a dosage of classical (pioneering ?) work as described in (parallel-distributed-processing vol-1&2) http://www.amazon.com/Parallel-Distributed-Processing-Vol-Fo..., would be just great.

Yeah, these distributed courses are a great idea.

There's a bunch of free textbooks online, especially for CS and math topics. I'd love to see online communities develop around the textbooks for like-minded people to form study groups.

I was thinking the same thing as well. It would be great to see more of these done in different languages for various topics.
