Ironically the best schools seem to have the easiest classes.
I learned to program at a community college. My professor, however, was a recently minted MIT Ph'd. Then I went to a state school. Along the way I've watched open course lectures from MIT, Standford and Berkley for various classes. What I've learned is that there is generally much less of a difference in the course objectives between the classes at the top ranked universities and my own classes than there is in the clarity of the instruction. What I infer from my personal experience with my community college programming instructor, who had picked up a teaching award from Harvard along the way to her docorate, and these programs here on iTunes U is that the classes in many respects are much easier at the previously mentioned universities, even if they are also more demanding, than they are at the State university I am currently attenting because of the clarity of the instruction and their overall design. This program doesn't disappoint that expectation. It's a painless introduction to Java programming that teaches really great and often understated programming practices. I highly recommend it as a supplement for anybody who's taking a programming course from a school that's not in Standford's leauge, as well as for high school students and autodidacts.
