I see some comments here along the lines of "Is this a good way to get educated in computer science?" or "Is this a good path into a career?" or "What are some good alternatives?" Maybe the problem is that it's pretty hard to gauge how good education of any kind is. We have countries all over the globe doing things a bit differently, and we have public and private schools with different methodologies. But, while I personally don't have the answers, and obviously our governments probably aren't sure either, clearly there is work being done in figuring out what works and what doesn't. What are some good resources for identifying the best forms of education? Are there any resources for identifying the best way(s) to learn computer science, or entry-level computer programming, or foundational software engineering?
