thenewboston[1] has owned this space for a little while now and has been doing really awesome vids on things like Python, C++, Java, Obj-C, iPhone dev, PHP, gamedev, Cocos2d, and Adobe CS software.
It's funny because he's coming from the opposite end now, since he's been doing mainly programming and technical content vids and has recently started making series on things like Biology and mathematics, the forte of khanacademy. Pretty awesome to see it all play out.

- elangoc 15y agoWhen it comes to great screencast videos for Python (+ software engineering), I think Software Carpentry (http://software-carpentry.org/ http://software-carpentry.org/) is really nice. and funny. This might be a different from Khan Academy and thenewboston, which seem to aim for a different level/audience. But for what it is and does, I feel like SWC is one of those hidden gems that I wish would get discovered a little more...
- shii 15y agoNever knew about that. Thank you. I should also mention http://codeschool.org/ http://codeschool.org/ as another video-format series of lectures on topics in CS.
- blhack 15y agoI'm glad I'm not the only "thenewboston" fan on HN. He really does a great job of making objective C approachable. Watching his videos were a huge help to me.
- nextparadigms 15y agoIf only he had an Android dev tutorial when I wanted to learn it. Does he still have like only 4 Android tutorials? Because that's too bad. I really liked his Python and Java ones.
