If you want to learn programming yourself, I have aggregated a ton of free resources and online guides:

I find that there is a high quantity of very useful/ high quality programming/engineering information on the internet but the "order" of which you learn things and how the different subjects interact with each other isn't very well enunciated.

My list of guides tries to serve as a "repo" to centralize high quality learning material.
