I took the undergraduate version of this course while at Cornell. It was a wonderful course. I taught me a lot how computers work, and how to organize a large (for me at the time) software project.
One of the most painful parts of the the project was using Scala which had ridiculously long compile times which made iterating quite a pain.
My favorite memory was that for one project we had to submit a program written meant to stress test everyone's parser.
