A Lynda.com course introducing the fundamentals of computer science through video lectures. It is a general primer rather than a deep, single-topic course.

Commenters say some of the lectures are great and that they relied on them when their college CS instruction was weak.

   Some of Lynda's lectures on the Fundamentals of Computer Science are great.

   I used them quite a bit in college, because my cs professors were horrible at teaching.
