I did this course a while back just when I was getting started on my self-taught journey. I'd highly recommend this over Harvard's CS50 or MIT's intro course. This has great coverage of how a computer program works, without being too pedantic.

I feel that the biggest strength of CS50 is its wide scope of technologies used. Provides a real great introduction to the field of computer science

This Course does not come close to cs50 in anyway. cs50 makes computer programming look intresting to a lawyer

Yes, CS50 is quite lively but in terms of quality, 61A beats CS50 hands down.
