Hi,

Maybe this would be useful to some people.

I'm learning processing at the moment, but these lectures which are in Java give a pretty good run-down of the concepts of programming. Starting out with Karel the Robot and then going into Java.

It's part of an initiative where Stanford are putting various classes online.

So literally you can take a 26 week course in programming for free! All the handouts and everything are online too.

There's also another class more focused on C++ which looks great too.

I think for Processing users the Java course would be a great supplement, and opeFrameworks peeps can get stuck into the C++ lecture.

It's certainly helping me get a descent handle on things as a beginner programmer.

There's also a more advanced course called Programming Paradigms.

"Programming Paradigms (CS107) introduces several programming languages, including C, Assembly, C++, Concurrent Programming, Scheme, and Python. The class aims to teach students how to write code for each of these individual languages and to understand the programming paradigms behind these languages."
