Yes, this is a great idea. But it should be an online course. I quit my banking job of 5 years and have spent the past 9 months taking courses in discrete math, algorithms and data structures, and computer organization. I have also been teaching myself python/django and have built a prototype with real alpha testers and a list of over 150 people interested in paying for my product when it's completed. I have a good grasp on programming and CS fundamentals, but could really use a course that teaches the basics of software engineering principles, scaling issues, payments processing, and version control with git. Basically a crash course in everything a junior software developer will encounter when climbing the learning curve at his first job at a startup.
