Harvard CS50
My solutions to CS50 courses.
I rate the CS50 series 11/10. Very interesting courses.
CS50 course - 80% of the course was using C language, which is a really good introduction as it is low-level and requires programmer to explicitly write everything.
Later on the exercises got really challenging and I remember I was struggling with some exercises even for 2-3 weeks. But I wanted to find solution on my own in order to learn the stuff.
A lot of topics were introduced.
The most important lesson for me was that programming is not about memorizing things (syntax), but about solving problems and thinking algorithmically.
