MIT OCW to the rescue! http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-comput...

Also, Stanford's C++ course: http://www.stanford.edu/class/cs106l/index.html

The MIT course is a bad choice for modern C++ (this course is just C with classes). Just have a look at this lecture:

The use of C-style arrays and strings is actively discouraged by most C++ gurus (Stroustrup, Sutter, Meyers).

Crap, I did not actually check the content to verify its quality. Thank you very much for pointing that out! You've reminded me to be more careful about offering advice, lest I do more harm than good. Again we are reminded to be wary of the advice/help given by others, even if under the best intentions.
