Could it be, however, that there is a need for introductory courses at university for those not quite at the level for SICP yet? I've worked as a web developer for years and can barely follow most of that text. If intro CS courses are provided in a more accessible format, more people will get interested and stick with it in the first place. There's always room for more advanced courses. I think that should be the goal of most universities.
