ShowMeDo: Video Tutorials for Programming

Great site! I learnt a bit about using the shell in linux about 7 months back (http://showmedo.com/videotutorials/series?name=pQZLHo5Df). The site seems to have gone through a redesign since then. I am now going through this series: http://showmedo.com/videotutorials/video?name=3160030&fr...

I'm always torn when I see simple introductions into programming like this. One one hand, I like the idea of a free, good resource and a gentle introduction for those who need it, and on the other hand, I fear that some people really shouldn't be exposed to programming in the first place, and too gentle an introduction leaves them with an unwarranted feeling that they actually know what they're doing. On the gripping hand, I've been known to have my moments of being an elitist bastard, so bear with me here.
