anonymous · Answer

yeah tons of them ^ i think one is called codeacademy, just google it, should bring up a number of them.

e.mccormick · Answer

I am not a big fan of code academy.  I found their lessons to be uninformative a lot of the time and with very little relationship to the rigors of proper computer science.  However, many schools have given away their classes for free.  Some are self paced, some are actual classes with deadlines.  This lets anyone learn the proper way of programming and tackling computer problems/projects.
