What I like about this article is not that it's a how-to but rather one person's account of how they spent 100 hours (probably the equivalent of one university course or so) studying computer science. Each section is described in terms of 'what he learning', 'what he can apply in real life', and 'what problems he encountered'. Probably the most important - and most difficult - part of the work was the mathematics. I sometimes forget how important my own background in math and logic has been in my work on software and development through my career.
