Nice entry-level tutorial; but, excuse me - "hacks"?

Sorry to nit-pick, but since you're trying to teach worthwhile and legitimate C.S. topics, why reach for the most tired of all techno-marketing-isms: hack.

If the term is truly to have no meaning whatsoever anymore (yes, it's worn out) -- then let's just quit using it.

I agree with you to some extent although I do not consider this Computer _Science_. If people keep saying C.S. to every little programming related thing they find then we will find ourselves the laughing stock of the scientific community.
