I am looking for a textbook/other sources on deep reinforcement learning which explain theory along with good examples. I will be happy for suggestions.

1$\begingroup$ For me was "The Art of Reinforcement Learning" by Michael Hu the best book so far. On the other side I found the Sutton and Barto Book extremely hard to digest. By the way, check this link out: ai.stackexchange.com/questions/6997/… $\endgroup$– DaveCommented Mar 26 at 10:22

1$\begingroup$ I will often peruse MIT/Stanford for a class on a subject and check the syllabus for what they’re teaching from. $\endgroup$– foreverskaCommented Mar 26 at 12:42

1$\begingroup$ @DSPinfinity you never mentioned, that you want MARL . In that case I can only suggest the www.neuralnet.ai Academy realized by Phil Tabor. Hi goes into MARL as well. $\endgroup$– DaveCommented Mar 26 at 15:02

1$\begingroup$ @Dave A lot of the deep RL classes are short on book recommendations other than S&B and some DL book of choice. But I did find ji.sjtu.edu.cn/wp-content/uploads/formidable/15/… which says they recommend as reference: "An Introduction to Deep Reinforcement Learning. Foundations and Trends in Machine Learning" $\endgroup$– foreverskaCommented Mar 26 at 18:26

1$\begingroup$ Does this answer your question? What are some online courses for deep reinforcement learning?, What introductory books to reinforcement learning do you know, and how do they approach this topic? or What's a good resource for getting familiar with reinforcement learning?. Your question is not an exact duplicate but maybe those questions already have the answer. $\endgroup$– nbroCommented Mar 27 at 14:53

Despite not a textbook I found the Berkley lecture series quite good. You have lecture theory and practical homework tasks to solve. Another famous learning resource is Spinning Up.

In case you need MARL or are interested in it, then I suggest the very well academy course made by Phil Tabor www.neuralnet.ai It costs some money but it was (for me) definetely worthly
