MIT has a set of videos from their original introduction to computer science class, Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, taught by Abelson and Sussman. They're here: http://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/...
The videos mirror the textbook of the same name, written by these professors. It's free online as well: http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/. It includes exercises relevant to the lectures.
The class is taught with Scheme. There's a good Scheme programming environment with a mode geared towards learning available for free here: http://racket-lang.org/
This approach is deeper and more rigorous than most intro programming or CS classes, and I think it's well worth the effort. The videos may seem dated, but the work is still very relevant. Even if you already know how to program or have taken an "intro" CS class, it's a good idea to start from the beginning, do the exercises, and keep an open mind about this curriculum.
