I am looking for good resources for AI programming (any language), both books and online stuff. I am particularly interested in neural networks implementations.

Check out, "Artificial Intelligence, A Modern Approach" by Peter Norvig.

I agree. The majority of AI courses are based on that book.

I just got this and it is a very good book.

If you're only going to read one book on AI, this is the one.

This was the book that took me on a journey to get a PhD in AI. Can't recommend it enough.

I highly recommend the excellent book Blondie 24, about the most advanced checkers playing AI (at the time the book was written), and Introduction to Neural Networks for Java, which talks a lot about the open source JOONE neural engine.

Programming Collective Intelligence by Toby Segaran is an excellent book. It covers lots of different AI/data-mining techniques (including neural networks), with interesting example applications for each. All the code is in Python, but it's easy to follow even if you don't know Python.

I enjoyed "Neural and Adaptive Systems: Fundamentals Through Simulation"

This book is great :

Neural Networks: A Comprehensive Foundation Simon Haykin, McMaster University, Ontario Canada

Of course, many other good books exist.

Also if you want real-world data to experiment on, here you are : http://www.ics.uci.edu/~mlearn/databases
