What I learned mostly in school regarding Computer Science was mostly theoretical: algorithms, data structures, pseudo-code generation, function analysis, data analysis, database analysis, etc. This kind of "base" made it easier for me to assimilate almost any kind of programming language out there, since I already know the basics of all languages, like for example, how the concept of arrays work. Knowledge of these concepts made self-studying an important part of my learning beyond my undergraduate studies. A lot of my knowledge with any sort of web development came from it :) I totally agree with your blog post.
