Compilers was the first (and, perhaps, only) course where having playid a lot worth computers before didn't matter. At. All.
At the same time, you learned some theory you didn't know (couldn't even have predicted) - that actually had direct practical application!
It was amazing and a microcosmos of CS - in that you first get a general understanding of the problem and desires outcome, learn theory that you couldn't have predicted but is amazingly apt for this, and end up making stuff work thanks to all of this.
It's an amazing experience that everyone with an interest in CS deserves to have.
