Funny you should say that, I had AP Computer Science in high school with C++. I relied on everything from that class for my first courses at University. Then when I hit data structures and had a class with 100+ students and the teacher was unavailable, only teaching assistants available. We had no computers in the classroom, the tests were all handwritten code. They added a computer lab to the class about a decade after I left. We didn't use the issued book for the class because the book was littered with errors, but a custom written book that the teacher wrote that was on printouts stapled at the book shop.
