I got the email to say SaaS course went live on the same day that Udactiy's CS373 was published.
I tried both, but within 5 mins of each I felt like Udacity was the only one I'd enjoy (and, indeed, the only one I'm bothering with) - not because of the content (although SaaS class felt more like trad lectures, in a negative way) , but because of Udacity being a much more engaging experience.
Harsh, perhaps, but my time is precious to me, so something's gotta give.
I probably stay with Udacity too. They doesn't force you to buy a book (I mean like SaaS) and SaaS covers only first five chapters from book. As I understand it is not full course.
