Best free online programming courses

What's the best free online programming course you've taken?

Definitely one of my favorites is An Introduction to Interactive Programming in Python (Parts 1 & 2) from Rice University on coursera.org.

What I really liked about it is that it teaches you the basic elements of Python programming by creating interactive games.

Part 1 culminates in building a version of the classic arcade game "Pong" and part 2 culminates in building a version of the classic arcade game "Asteroids".

    App Academy has a really good one for full-stack Ruby.

    And W3 is great for front-end.

    A lot of great suggestions here!

    I've also been finding some really good courses and tutorials just on YouTube.

    Obviously, not as structured as an actual course from a dedicated learning platform, but seems really great for referencing a quick tutorial on a specific topic.

    I've even used it to watch a few videos on fixing appliances and general car repairs.
