> What made it so special

these break down really complex topics and make the concepts approachable. As a noob, I learned a lot from these.

Are there any introductory programming or CS courses that you have in mind for someone starting out?

Try https://www.plai.org/ the new edition of 'Programming Languages: Application and Interpretation'. You can start doing it with just a basic background or try this: https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/~plragde/flaneries/FICS/ both those (plai, fics) were finished last year.

Shorter than a book, and not 30+ hours of watching lectures.

Harvard's CS50 is excellent. You can find it here: https://cs50.harvard.edu/x/2023/
