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.

First Lecture. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKTZoB2Vjuk

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.




Agreed! The Great Treat List Recursion problem from Parlante's intro to CS page is really good practice with pointers.
