One thing that strikes me about this is that while it is very user-friendly and has a nice, fun tone, it doesn't really provide a framework for practice or provide ideas for furthering the skills or vocabulary that they touch on. You mentioned that you took a programming course. Would you recommend that anyone with any interest level take a course? If not, do you have any other suggestions for someone who is somewhat interested in learning more about the subject?

What kind of programming are you interested in?

Ultimately I'd like to be able to set up a basic website and maintain it. I don't really have a concrete goal, or website that I'm trying to realize, but I think that the more I'm able to learn about the subject, the better I'll be able to contribute to possible jobs in the future as I'm currently looking for a new one. In short, something I can use in a professional environment that I could also use for whatever personal projects I might have.
