- Harvard CS50 - several internet reviewers seem to like this one. They have a lot of videos on YouTube.
- Udacity CS101 - no, this costs money.
- MIT
- 6.00SC
- 2014 6.00.1.x
- 2011 OCW Scholar
- 2008
- Games for Social Change - kind of random but interesting.
- Coursera/Stanford CS101 - although this one seems more "liberal arts" than "learn to program"?
- UCBerkeley - doesn't seem to offer a "101" course, but does have this one.
Alternately, drop down to Hour of Code and/or Codecademy, mess around for a while... There seems to be a sort of "track", different from the computer-science-theory kind of course, which goes: HMTL, CSS, Javascript... then PHP, Ruby, Python... more practical? Or more entry-level.
- Khan Academy (Javascript)
- PairUp to Code - incl GDI meeting on Sat mornings
- w3schools maybe gives the best map of this "track"
A third "track" is sort of "misc other" -- especially, mobile apps, game design, robots...
