Just to clarify: These aren't the same thing as the ai-class ( http://www.ai-class.com ) that has gotten all the buzz. This program has been around for a while and only(1) offers downloadable materials (videos of lectures + pdfs of assignments/handouts etc.) (1) "only" seems a terrible way of putting it. The materials/lecturers are amazing even if you never have your assignments graded.

As universities offer more and more curriculum online, would you hire someone who had self taught himself through a CS degree? Or would you want to see the diploma?

The Machine Learning, and Databases classes are like the AI class on the new system, with quizzes and a statement from the professor about how you did at the end. At least the intro videos for the ML class stated as such and I got that impression from the database class as well.
The largest class ever ...

Am I the only one yearning for the convex optimization I & II classes to be offered in the new style?
Each class has been announced individually, thought I'd give the full list.
Thanks for this. Do you know why the courses aren't all hosted on Standford.edu, though?

I've found little correlation between diplomas and effectiveness as a programmer in my hiring. So, that includes people who are self taught. I may be in the minority, and I think that people who have diplomas sometimes have the opinion that anyone who didn't go thru the pain they went thru is missing something.
