I don't think it measures up as much. It's basically a dumbed down version of his actual Stanford course. If you have any experience in Math and Linear Algebra, you should take a more serious course like his lectures in Youtube or Caltech's course on Youtube. The ideal audience of the Coursera course is non-math people who want to get an idea of what machine learning is.

Awesome post. It has been bookmarked, Evernoted, printed and stuck up on my wall.
I did note the absence of the oft quoted Andrew Ng's Coursera course on ML. I assume the author has put it under : "disruptive educational sites".
But genuinely want to know how Ng's course measures up to the other resources mentioned in this post??
