Question

Are there some good links available for free online general CS, IS, IT, & beginning application programming courses?

Answer 1

I'll link you to http://cs101-class.org but it hasn't started yet. It's an introduction to computer science.

Unless you mean you want a non-beginner course related to computer science or IT, then there's plenty within that link (which also haven't started yet but some will start soon on Jan 23rd! )

Answer 2

also, for more beginner materials on computer science, you can try harvard's http://cs50.tv

Answer 3

http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/ is a MIT beginner course for Computer Science and Python

Answer 4

there's also OCW

Answer 5

Thank you so much. I certainly will take a look at each of these sources:)

Answer 6

There's also iTunes U on iTunes, as well as stuff on youtube

Answer 7

http://db-class.org and http://ai-class.com the classes are already over, but maybe you can access their materials.

Answer 10

oh right.

Answer 11

Answer 12

On the internet in general, I haven't found videos that jumpstart you into developing applications; it's more like language tutorials. :(
