I actually took this course in person when Professor Schocken visited Harvard. It is a fantastic course that is extremely valuable for everyone from those who only have basic programming skills to advanced CS students (I took it as a senior after already having taken classes on operating system design and programming languages). In the class we did jump around a bit in the later chapters, and so I feel like one could probably approach the material in many different ways.The exercises are very straight-forward and will not be extremely time-consuming for those who are already skilled at CS, but the course is best treated like a tour through CS rather than an in-depth study of any particular area.
