Lec 1 | MIT 6.00 Introduction to Computer Science and Programming, Fall 2008
MIT OpenCourseWare
First lecture of MIT 6.00, an introductory computer science course taught in Python by Eric Grimson and John Guttag. It covers the goals of the course, what computation is, and data types, operators and variables.
HN commenters recommend it as a simple, direct entry point for beginners who want to learn computer science, not just programming.
