Code Academy
There are a bunch of new online learning tools becoming available at the moment. Some are based around the idea of a university style education (http://www.udacity.com/ and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_OpenCourseWare for example), others have a more hands one goal of teaching you how to program. One of the nice programming ones is Code Academy. They have a short list of courses based around programming. They cover areas like JavaScript and JQuery. They have a nice online editor where you carry out the practice questions. There is a clever engine behind this which allows you to get the answer right in a number of ways - it is not just making sure you did exactly as instructed. Useful messages when you go wrong and the whole thing is gamified To make the rat brain in us all happy :)
Well worth a try if this is you thing - or if you would like it to be.
