I took the course last year, and really enjoyed it a lot. It's a very good introduction to functional programming.

For anyone unsure about taking the course, I wrote about my experience on my blog [1], maybe that will be of use. I posted more technical details of the course contents on google+ (links in the blog post).

From your blog:

"a lot of material was explained by Professor Ordesky during the videos, so you’d have a hard time trying to do the course without watching the videos"

The Stanford Databases class (http://class2go.stanford.edu/db/) did that part very well (well it did everything very well): Everything that the professor typed in during video demonstrations, was also provided as text files in the course downloadables.
