I love how that site offers a phone-formatted PDF as an option. How thoughtful!

My full stack JS jockey buddy studied this in the nascent days of LLMs to prep for an interview and is now generationally wealthy. Sliding doors moment for sure...

I'd note that the Fleuret books gives the foundation for basic deep learning whereas the OP seems to give the necessary foundations for Transformers and related machinery. These later addition what is now "AI" are in total at least as complicated as the original deep learning concepts. Not that just learning basic neural networks but the two book don't appear to cover the same ground.

It's a nice treatment of the subject, but I wish he would post a conventionally-formatted .PDF that puts every page on a full sheet of standard printer paper.
