Yeah - the updated version is much better (I've completed both of them) just because you don't need to struggle with Matlab.
Overall, this course is extremely good mostly because Ng covers the essential theoretical topics and gives some practical advice. Also, the topics are explained really well and you do not need to look up additional material.
Also, I really appreciate that he took the time to derive those equations while others just drop the results.
