Holding Your Hand Like a Small Child Through a Neural Network – Part 1

For those who do not get the reference in the title: Wedding Crashers. For those trying to deepen their understanding of neural nets, IAmTrask's "A Neural Network in 11 lines of Python" is a staple piece. While it does a good job–a great job even–of helping people understand neural nets better, it still takes significant effort on the reader's part to truly follow along. My goal is to do more of the work for you and make it even easier. However I will try to make it as easy as possible.
