"Programming for Everybody" by Rice University is highly recommended. Together with Coursera they do an specialization called "Fundamentals of Computing" which can be audited for free.

I did a lot of searching for this awhile back. The UFL program seemed encouraging (and appeared to be fully remote):

Definitely not cheap, but the syllabus looks solid.

I am also really interested in this. I am not based in US so kindly let me know about programs (am interested in pursuing MS in CS) that are cheap and are considered good? I know about Georgia Tech and UIUC. Any other good programs?

Regis University offers the only ABET accredited online CS degree, however, in my research, it seems like the actual delivery of that degree is somewhat lacking. If you already have another degree, Oregon State's post-bacc online CS degree seems to be the way to go. Still expensive though.

Currently taking OMSCS via Georgia Tech and Udacity. Loving it so far. It will only cost ~$8k in total for a masters degree and my work (and many companies) will cover ~85% of the total cost.
