Extremely basic but Dr. Chuck is so interesting that you never get bored. You can pass the course in a few days with minimum or even no programming knowledge. It's a good starting point for beginners.

Professor Charles Severance is excellent at what he is doing.

He can make even people new to coding or even general computer science concepts understand what he is teaching :)
