Neural nets for novices Stories like this one are quite popular these days.

The idea of training a neural net to do something silly like this may sound trivial to experts like you,  but for a novice like me it could be an interesting learning experience.

Is there novice-friendly software I could play with to train a neural net to do something like this or is there necessarily a steep learning curve?
An intuitive NN playground can be found in TensorFlow Playground
