University of Helsinki mooc.fi course is free, really good, and doesn't require any prior knowledge to start. Current year's version uses Python (there is also a Java version), but what I liked the most about it is that it's essentially an Uni course, and as such it focuses on teaching the programming concepts rather than using a specific language.

Posting Etiquette

  1. Ask the main part of your question in the title. This should be concise but informative.

  2. Provide everything up front. Don't make people fish for more details in the comments. Provide background information and examples.

  3. Be present for follow up questions. Don't ask for help and run away. Stick around to answer questions and provide more details.

  4. Ask about the problem you're trying to solve. Don't focus too much on debugging your exact solution, as you may be going down the wrong path. Include as much information as you can about what you ultimately are trying to achieve. See more on this here: https://xyproblem.info/
