In the spirit of freely available learning material, here's this http://hackety-hack.com/. It's a good guide for people who want to learn with a visual aid in real time, as opposed to reading rote literature off a screen. In that sense, it's good for rudimentary basics a beginning programming student would need to understand before they could visualize what's being said in the literature in more complicated manuals, without the visual aid. It's recent, so there aren't many lessons available yet, but the authors are updating more in the future. Thanks for this parallel. Very useful for learning other languages.
