  I'm still relatively new to the subject, however, I have successfully created my own neural network, so I wouldn't consider myself a beginner, so I'm looking for something more intermediate.

  [Neural Network Design (2nd edition)](http://hagan.okstate.edu/nnd.html) by Hagan et al. is one resource you could look at. It's a huge tome, weighing in at over 1000 pages in [pdf form](http://hagan.okstate.edu/NNDesign.pdf), but it is freely available (you can also buy a dead-tree version if you really want one).
