Thanks for the tip! I'm trying to get some good online learning courses to look at (learning on one's own can be so directionless). I'll definitely look at it, thanks again!

You should definitely follow mcplusplus's advice.

Another introductory course is Harvard's CS50[1] which covers a lot of subjects: Programming concepts, C, basic algorithms and data structures, recursion, basic web programming with databases, a glimpse of operating systems and computer architecture. And the instructor (David J. Malan) is great!

And I second Stanford's CS106A/B[2] (CS107 is much harder if you're just learning how to program) - it only teaches in java, but it has more depth than Harvard's, especially CS106B which covers a lot of algorithms and data structures.
