Deeplearning.net and homepages of Bengio, Schmidhuber have further information, background and links.
Bengio, LeCun, Jordan, Hinton, Schmidhuber, Ng, de Freitas and OpenAI have done reddit AMA's. These are nice places to start to get a Zeitgeist of the field.
Hinton and Ng lectures at Coursera, UFLDL, CS224d and CS231n at Stanford, the deep learning course at Udacity, and the summer school at IPAM have excellent tutorials, video lectures and programming exercises that should help you get started. (Update 2016-08-22: Unfortunately coursera closed down their old courses, but here are youtube links for Neural Nets by Geoffrey Hinton, Machine Learning by Andrew Ng, Reinforcement Learning by David Silver, Probabilistic Graphical Models by Daphne Koller, Convex Optimization by Stephen Boyd).
The online book by Nielsen, notes for CS231n, and blogs by Karpathy, Olah and Britz have clear explanations of MLPs, CNNs and RNNs. The tutorials at UFLDL and deeplearning.net give equations and code. The encyclopaedic book by Goodfellow et al. is a good place to dive into details. I have a draft book in progress.
Theano, Torch, Caffe, ConvNet, TensorFlow, MXNet, CNTK, Veles, CGT, Neon, Chainer, Blocks and Fuel, Keras, Lasagne, Mocha.jl, Deeplearning4j, DeepLearnToolbox, Currennt, Project Oxford, Autograd (for Torch), Warp-CTC are some of the many deep learning software libraries and frameworks introduced in the last 10 years. convnet-benchmarks and deepframeworks compare the performance of many existing packages. I am working on developing an alternative, Knet.jl, written in Julia supporting CNNs and RNNs on GPUs and supporting easy development of original architectures. More software can be found at deeplearning.net.

There is CURRENNT for RNN - LSTM training with GPUs.
