Harvard's introductory computer science course taught by David J. Malan, covering computational thinking and programming in C, Python, and other languages through weekly lectures, problem sets, and a final project. The lectures are freely available on YouTube and the course is also offered free on edX.

Commenters call it an entertaining and friendly introduction to computer science, with one saying the lectures are a breath of fresh air compared to other tutorials.
