Stanford isn't the only university offering classes online. There's plenty of others for Waterloo courses.

Not sure if this has been posted or not but – free Python books?

1. Dive into Python 3 – http://diveintopython3.org/

2. Django Book – http://www.djangobook.com/en/2.0/

There are probably a lot more out there.

I’ve gained some programmer basics but something like this would really benefit my learning. A good foundation to start out with is always important.

…and yes, Canadian Universities should get in the game.

He does seem awfully comfortable, though I’m not sure if he’s asleep. Another observation would be that half the class is absent. Though I think overall it’s just a realistic photo of a University lecture.

I saw information about this on lifehacker. I’m optimistic about this, the classes seem to be more involved resources-wise than the MIT program. I’ll be participating in this and hopefully they’ll add more than the handfull of classes they have right now.

I think it’s pretty funny Stanford would use a promotional picture, where the student in the lower left of the image is obviously sleeping.
