My general question wasn't really answered then again, didn't really ask my true question.

Should I go about enrolling at the local university or learn on my own? Throughout the years, I've learned that I learn better with a mix of learn on my own and traditional school methods. I learn slower if just one. It's kind of hard to know what I should do.

Below is a link to the current comp sci course offered by the local university.

How does it compare to the real world, are they all good courses to take and get my skills back up?

When it comes to the elective parts of the course, which would benefit me most?

Don't know why,and my non-programming co-workers think I'm crazy that I consider programming fun, but frustrating when it doesn't do what you want it to do. I'd like to get back into a field I will enjoy doing.
