An MIT edX course (6.005.1x) on writing reliable, maintainable Java software, covering testing, test-driven development, abstraction, specifications, and concurrency. It is the first of a two-part sequence with an advanced follow-up (6.005.2x).

Commenters say it is where they learned TDD and recommend it alongside its advanced counterpart as a path into software engineering practice.
