On Wednesday, free online tutorial service Khan Academy will launch a new
series of instructional videos covering the field of computer science.
"This project is going to blow the doors off Computer Science education," boasted Khan's dean of computer science and noted JavaScript programmer John Resig, in a Twitter message. "I have a feeling that people are going to have A LOT of fun with it."
Watch. Practice. Learn almost anything for free.
With over 3,300 videos on everything from arithmetic to physics, finance, and history and hundreds of skills to practice, we're on a mission to help you learn what you want, when you want, at your own pace.
