Don't worry about picking the wrong tools - everybody does that and a CS education won't help. If you want an informal coding education, I 100% recommend Code Complete [1]. Its an old book but absolutely fantastic. Please give it a try. If you want to improve your CS education, Google (the company not the search engine) recommends interviewees read Introduction to Algorithms before their interview and do practice problems on Topcoder [3].
