Why must you learn in these 8 months? Yes I agree you should get a head start but you've got your college career to become good at it, meet smart people that will guide you and meet peers willing to help you learn.

I was very much in your shoes when I finished high school. AT the time I was much more involved in hardware/circuits and had only taken one java class. When I go to college, aside from my CS-based curriculum I tinkered with web development on the side and 4ish years later I'm working at my own startup doing ruby (and still learning). Best of luck!
