It's ridiculous to take computer science before knowing how to program, at least for me. I need to know English before I learn complex essays. Good advice for programming is everywhere, too bad people rarely listen to it.

That's an interesting point. I've never considered it like that. At my school, you do have to take at least one language class before you delve into anything deeper, but one is clearly not enough. It's tantamount to taking a single semester of a foreign language that you've never touched before, then enrolling in a college writing course in that language.
