Here's the MIT OCW index for EE and CS courses: [LINK] Here's the MIT OCW index for 6.00 w/ Grimson (2008): [LINK] Here's the first video lecture on YouTube: [VIDEO] I should mention this is a really good (IMHO) CS course that happens to use Python.
Read original comment ↗Here is an MIT Course: Introduction To CS and Programming [VIDEO] Professor keeps everything simple and direct because this class is designed for beginners with no or little programming experience.
Read original comment ↗I've really enjoyed watching the MIT 6.00 course (Introduction to Computer Science and Programming): [VIDEO] The Khan videos seem to be about programming instead of computer science.
Read original comment ↗Make the entire Internet your mentor. It's filled with information and answers to all sorts of questions. Look at some programming tutorials such as codecademy. Maybe find some books on computer architecture, learn about mathematics that might apply to computer scientists. Here are some links to get you started.
