The site is in French, but the lectures are in English. It's much more mathematically rigorous than Hinton's Neural Networks course on Coursera, and oddly enough that seems to make the material easier to follow and comprehend. It's definitely worth giving it a look.

A translation of the home page is available at http://goo.gl/DyWw9G

here's a couple draft DL books, Bengio's only has 4 chapters in the directory but looks promising and very readable.
