What's fantastic about this is that even though the class is at Stanford, everyone from around the world can follow along just as easily. Stanford is opening up more and more of its opportunities to the general public, which is awesome. Another one I'd recommend taking advantage of is Stanford's Hacking Hours:

This is a weekly on-campus meetup where people hack on their projects in a collaborative environment. It's open to the general public, and anyone nearby with code to write is welcome to come work on it at Stanford.
