What's the targeted difficulty level here? My experience with other Khan Academy videos is that they may be fine for a sophomore or junior year high schooler but their advanced topics are very lacking or generalized. How much CS will actually be taught here? How will it compete with things like Google Code University? http://code.google.com/edu/algorithms/index.html

I'd say undergraduate university education in CS. Most students in fact are only exposed to CS in college, so it'd be the basics they get there. A good review for seniors, an excellent introduction for students from high school, and a quick refresher for programming interviewee candidates.

Well, many of the high school kids in the world are getting less than nothing about CS in school: anything is good.
