Was hoping this would link to the point in time in the video, but apparently it just matches hits in transcripts with link to the (entire) video? If there are no timing information in the transcripts, I guess that's understandable... but it is a little underwhelming (we've been doing searching of plain text for a while...).

we've built it in 48 hours and there was no time for that. But it was in the plans..

Looks like the repo is here: https://github.com/clojurecup2014/cloujera

Looking forward to checking it out.

It can't find any course related to 'Scala' whereas I can find courses on the Coursera's website. FYI.

Since this was for clojurecup, we have decided to remove all references to Scala. :P

On a more serious note, we've only indexed ~25 courses and probably the ones you refer to weren't among them; if you have a particular course in mind, tell me, I'll fire up the scraper..

Functional Programming Principles in Scala and Principles of Reactive Programming are hits I would expect.

Cool, I'll add them tonight.

spoken words...? so we are searching the audio of the lectures?

how were you able to access the coursera videos without registering?

Registering is free and transcripts are provided for each lecture.

Yup, what codexon said.
