Thanks for the link, just subscribed.

Years ago I took Chris Manning and Dan Jurafsky‘s Coursera NLP class and it was excellent. I also own, I think, every book they have written including Jurafsky’s book on food.

It is extremely generous of top universities to make their classes available online. Of course, watching the videos and trying the homework assignments on one’s own is not the experience of going to Stanford, but it is less expensive!
