I frequently and Highly recommend "Design of computer programs" to everyone I can. As an intermediate developer before taking it, I still recommend it. He is an amazing teacher I have learned considerably just from the way he explains and approaches problems.
Plus taking a class for free from the director of research at google :)

Google Schmoogle - Peter Norvig is a powerhouse name and Google gains in prestige for having Peter Norvig, not the other way around.

I didn't realize he taught any udacity courses, thanks for the link!
I have been doing his course "Design of computer programs" (https://www.udacity.com/course/cs212) and it really push me from basic/novice developer to intermediary.
He succeed to explain you things in a natural way. He seems to always start by the basic assumption. Working and thinking around any problems/surprises he/you encounter. So, you have the impression to discover things more than learning them.
