I think the two free online courses provided by Stanford last year is really good for beginners.

I found the Stanford course almost assumed too much of a stats background to make it easily accessible. Starting with the math foundations is sound, but scary for people who don't dream in LaTeX :)

It's also one of the courses complete with materials in the new iTunes U app.
