MIT's distributed systems class is also taught in Go - http://css.csail.mit.edu/6.824/2014/schedule.html

I just stumbled on this set of lectures, slides, and notes, from ETH Zurich, which seems like it would be useful supplementary material: http://dcg.ethz.ch/lectures/podc_allstars/

Also relevant is the "Distributed Algorithms" course at Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden. Seems to be a little bit more theoretical, but might be an interesting complement to a more practical course.

I guess using Erlang would be cheating...

Generally, there is huge gap in Distributed Systems courses (I've encountered) between the theory/books they follow and the practical lab projects...

Can anyone recommend some good DS course oriented for working engineers with hands-on projects which the course (theory/book) itself follows closely?

Well, otherwise, I tried to get some help collecting nice Distributed system links and news in the relevant Google+ group: http://bit.ly/distsys

I'm taking this course next semester! However, it mostly likely will be taught in C/Java.

so sad, that course have no video lectures.
