I watched the original Nick Parlante videos that this material is based off 7 years ago, and recommend it to anybody that thinks they need to learn programming.
I took a couple C classes in college that were geared for people who already knew how to program and hated it. Never wanted to think about it again.
Those videos helped abstract a lot of the low level muck away and build real stuff. Once I was able to understand some of these concepts and why you would actually use them I could go back and learn all the things that were too deep in the weeds to understand.
Its a bit dated now but still some of the best training videos I've seen.
