It's helped me tremendously - just started university, and we had a teacher who just wasn't that good. Nice person, not enough teaching experience. Looked up Khanacademy, and a second explanation made it stick. I'll use it to repeat things later on. Started peeking into javascript too, as I've yet to write a single line of code in my life, it's a much appreciated source of information.

Did you do any of the exercise? How much if you do so.

Did some with Java, mostly messing around and getting used to the interface, and some math, as I got done with it a year before you're supposed to, so I've forgotten some of it, and did... I think I started with simple integrals. So far, mostly videos, few exercises, though.
