CodeCombat's live coding level editor - Hackdot

I'm often asked for recommendations on how to learn to program and this will probably be perfect for nerdier types (but looks like it assumes zero initial knowledge, which is awesome). What other things do folks recommend? Coursera? Code School? Khan Academy?
