Primary instructor here. Was going to wait to post this to HN till I had more material up, but please check out http://startup.stanford.edu http://startup.stanford.edu. We'll have a bunch of speakers over the course of the class from more than a dozen of the top startups in the Valley (Square, Uber, Stripe, AirBnB, etc.) to round out the technical material. Agreed with one commenter that there are indeed a lot of TLAs, but that's for the SEO ;) The class is being taught on the Stanford campus now from January through March, and the lecture notes will be open sourced (probably under AGPL) in April. This will provide a free textbook to combine with the MOOC itself, so that those in the developing world have access. Any constructive feedback would be most appreciated, and my email is balajis at stanford dot edu.
