Thanks for the advice. I'm not someone who's been programming for years. I just took multivariable calc and intro CS (scheme) this semester. I'm wondering whether self-teaching is realistic, and whether employers consider self-taught programmers. I can get access to books on CS/MIT online courses/Stanford online courses and study CS. And there's a lot of source code I can read and learn from. Is this do-able?

Doable ? sure, but not relevant. Can YOU do it ? that's a question only you can answer. Other than that, programming is a craftsmanship. Like any other one, it might take a few years to master it. A couple of courses in Uni is definitely NOT what makes you a programmer (or developer or an engineer or whatever)...
