Here is a small tutorial on how to design and implement a specific class of ANN called Feed Forward Back Propagation Networks that can be applied for Prediction, Classification, Clustering etc. Once one gets familiar with terms used, you can download the Excel files which are tools for Neural network model for prediction and neural network model for clustering. These are simple tools to use and one can play around with it to better understand the Neural Network Models.
All tools and tutorial are taken from: http://www.geocities.com/adotsaha/NNinExcel.html
