I think this course looks like it could be a lot of fun. Erik Meijer is a great teacher with lots of enthusiasm. The introductory video makes it look like we just walked in on a particularly awkward moment, though, like they set the bench they're all sitting on down in a suspiciously bad smelling elevator car.
If you haven't see Erik Meijer's haskell course and are interested in that type of thing, check it out:

It uses this really great book by Graham Hutton called Programming in Haskell.
