Sites to learn programming online in an interactive way

[Genesis]

I'm wondering whether there are programmers out there who have had good experiences with sites that offer programming courses in an interactive way?

Here are some of the ones I've heard are pretty good. Have you had any experiences with them, and do you know of others that can be added to the list?

Code Academy (for free)
Rails for Zombies (beginner level is free)
Try Ruby (for free)
TryjQuery (try out is free)
Code School (beginner level is free)
Team Tree House (subscription)

Khan Acamedy should be added too to the list as it has everything not just programming

I have recently stumbled upon the online learning tool http://codedammit.co/#/ which allows us to learn programming by looking at the real-life code examples from other people.

Dont go to hard on yourself and learn ruby, a very easy to start with language. You can start online right now:

#define generic_swap(X, Y) ? ? ?\
? ? do { ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?\
? ? ? ? if ((X) != (Y)) { ? ? ? \
? ? ? ? ? ? (*X) ^= (*Y); ? ? ? \
?? ? ? ? ? ?(*Y) ^= (*X); ? ? ? \
? ? ? ? ? ? (*X) ^= (*Y); ? ? ? \
? ? ? ? } ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? \
? ? } while (0)

Personally, I add to the if's condition (sizeof((X)) == sizeof((Y)) && (sizeof((*X)) == (sizeof((*Y)) because typeof and typeid are extensions and not actually C/C++. Note: this is very different from "#if sizeof(int) == 4", as the if in question is not a preprocessor conditional macro directive.

I didn't see the edX app listed on here. You can learn everything from programming/scripting to physiscis to marketing!
you can even download the app on your android/iphone search up edX

Solo learn offer apps to learn programming, although, I like Codecademy better.

Tutplus has tons of free courses and tutorial, ranging from HTML to JS libraries... And not only has material about many programming technologies, but they only have web and graphic design guidlines..

code.tutsplus.com

By the way, I've started with codeigniter PHP framework few years ago.. and their tutorial helped me a lot!

I hope you enjoy it!
