As someone who is a manger in her day job, I was bulldozed by a friend and signed up very skeptically for "Introduction to Systematic Program Design" on Coursera.
I was completely blown away by the *way* the Prof. Gregor Kizcales brings concepts to life.
In the field of IT, we all have heard of TDD and Re-factoring being preached. But to actually watch it in action and gain confidence doing it hands-on is just mind-blowing.
The course starts off very simple -- since it is for non-programmers, but covers tremendous ground all the way to recursion which is something that people really struggle with.
A wonderful course that should be mandatory for everyone who hopes to be a part of the IT field in technical capacity. Also good for managers to appreciate concepts that "techies" talk about.
