I think it's an interesting idea, but I went and took a look at the course on Web Programming and found it somewhat lacking. For instance, the section on HTTP links to the W3C documentation on POST/GET/etc... which is ok, but very dry reading and, IMHO, possibly too abstract and confusing to someone who didn't already have some experience writing webapps. I feel that the course needs more overall "glue" binding some of the concepts together. For example, there's a tutorial about PHP/Ruby, but it seems to reference materials from some other college course (that I couldn't locate).

Overall, it just didn't seem to hang together well.
