Harvard, Berkely and MIT are offering a few heavy duty courses online, for free. Successful completion gets you a nice little certificate to brag over. I noticed that several (if not all) of the courses offered are actually the online course offered at the actual school for big bucks. So these are not simply pared down, lightweight freebies.
This one looks particularly interesting for those that want to dip their toe into a fast paced structured look at SaaS https://www.edx.org/courses/BerkeleyX/CS169.1x/2012_Fall/about This is the exact course being offered by Harvard Extension right now for the fall semester. Cost $2000. You can take it for free here: https://www.edx.org/courses/HarvardX/CS50x/2012/about The other Harvard course is also available for cost (and credit) at Harvard Extension. It's a pretty cool initiative. Check it out. "EdX is a not-for-profit enterprise of its founding partners Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that features learning designed specifically for interactive study via the web.
