Online courses for Programming

Hello,

Hopefully this is the right place to post this. 

I am looking for some advice on different online courses for Software Engineering and computer science. I am looking to go back to school for my masters and it has been a little while since I have done some program, so I want to refresh and basically do a crash course. I am looking for an online course free or not to expensive, that I can just push through. Mainly something I can relearn the basics and then go through the next steps.  I have a few projects I want to work on, to help me refresh some things.

My history:

BS in computer Engineering. Then I ended up getting a good job at a company, but it was for IT consulting not software dev like I hoped. I allowed my self to get stuck there for a few years and just fell behind.

I don't know about courses, per se, but Packt Publishing's subscription-thingy is great for a whole lot of self-study materials (both books and videos) on a very wide range of programming-languages, tools and topics. I'm a subscriber myself and I am finding it well worth the monthly fee.

I'd just make a personal project, if you already have an engineering background it should be easy to pick up the basics again.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

Hey Guys thank you for the input. I found coursera.org, it has the free courses i was looking for. ill take a look at packt in a few weeks. the coursera.org is closest to what I wanted. As for languages, java, python, C++. those are the ones i know/remember. 
If you have any suggestions on others I should look at, please let me know.

Codecademy or sololearn for free programming lessons.

 

Many universities have programming degrees up into PhD level that are recognized by the US government.
