Great, but I hope it doesn't follow the book... "Algorithms in C" by Sedgewick is a great book, which uses C to implement the algorithms talked about in the book. "Algorithms" also by Sedgewick, which looks like this course is based on, spends a hell of a lot of time teaching you Java!

I've just done the first week's lectures and exercises. They assume you know Java, but if you don't you're pointed in the right direction for suitable resources.

It look substantially similar to COS 226 at Princeton, also taught by Kevin Wayne, which uses this textbook: http://algs4.cs.princeton.edu/home/ http://algs4.cs.princeton.edu/home/

  Yes, that's the textbook for this course.

    If that's the case, there's an unhealthy amount of basic Java in the text, but it's still a very good course.

I took one of the previous offerings of the course, and they assume that you know Java. The programming assignments start on week 1 with "real algorithm" work, there's no time wasted introducing you to Java or anything like that.
