Take a couple of hours out of your otherwise hectic life to see how the real instructors teach computer science. It is liable to make a world of difference in how you think about computers, and using computers to do the specific things you want them to do.
David Malan's CS50 is one of the few classes in which the students are so impressed with the quality of instruction that they (enthusiastically) applaud. Not quite the dry, boring, ponderous nonsense sold as "computer science" by many other colleges and universities.

I'm enjoying this, so far. You're right. He does present the material in an engaging way.
He's a pretty looking guy for a computer genius. He probably nails a lot of coeds at Harvard.
