I took at look at the syllabus[1] and it sure seems to throw students in the deep end! The first week's lecture includes threads and event handling. Later on they cover all kinds of domains such as TCP/IP, tries, and MVC. Those who survive the pace and workload seem like they will have a broad introduction to just about every area of CS. Program By Design[2] used by a bunch of other great CS schools feels gentle by comparison.
