Codecademy
 
Codecademy.com is an interactive website dedicated to teaching people coding. It teaches HTML, C#, Python, and a few others (not GS2, sadly). It is simple to use and doesn't slam everything at you all at once, meaning that you can learn fast (at least I did). It requires an account.
I recommend this website to all potential developers wanting to learn how to code :)

Love this website, very beginner-friendly. Picked up Python in a few days without any prior experience.

Its not a very easy/interesting site. Often, the code screws up because the web page has an issue and from learning half of Java,it hasnt taught anything fun lol.
I guess you have to be into programming to love it. I love it because I want to learn programming.

Also, account creation isnt required. I have done some lessons on my iPad without having to sign up.

Most programmer tutorials/lessons assume you know nothing about programming. So they start from the absolute beginning, teaching you simple concepts and logic. If you already have some sort of understanding of those then that beginner stuff can be insanely boring. Even if you don't, most people think programming is about making cool ****... and get bored when all they're doing is telling a program to output "Hello World" and simple arithmetic.

Then, after you finally get past all of that boring crap you finally realize programming is about 10% fun and 90% frustration.

If you really wanna see a game that can make programming fun, check out Roblox. Not CoddeAcademy. Roblox shows you how scripting works.

I like this website. I'm past the part where I learn about functions in JS and I feel like a fluttering butterfly.

True, but the frustration is part of the fun. :>

Precisely: the frustration makes the end solution that much more satisfying.

Yeah! About that, I've gotten some real promising progress on my RC. :)
It even supports skins and the config from the official one.

I found this about a year ago and it is very useful.
