Comment on Ask HN: Are there any basic primers for Comp Sci?

Comments

I'm kind of shocked that no one here has suggested you look at the Khan Academy's CompSci videos. For simple video learning, you can not beat the Khan Academy: http://www.khanacademy.org/science/computer-science

It is very python heavy, but python is an excellent first language for someone wanting to quickly get into the thick of things. Enjoy!

I looked at it just now and it doesn't look like there is much there, certainly very little CS, and not much intro programming stuff.

I've recently enrolled in Coursera's SaaS class online. Its extremely intense compared to Udacity. I've got a few other books I want to read and some projects to start, I'm super excited!
