Ask HN: How should I go about learning CS?
Learn Scheme -> Read/watch SICP. Work your way up to algorithms. Build stuff.

I think the key here is "build stuff." Do all the excercises in SICP, and see about doing the projects that are listed in the Open CourseWare for the course. (I think one of them is a web-spider.)

SICP is The Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs by Abelson and Sussman. It's really hard. You can get it online for free from MIT here:
