This is a pretty good course. There's a textbook that you can buy for about twenty-eight bucks on Amazon (or you can download it from the site a chapter at a time as you do the course.)
The original instructor, Julian Wheatley, is on sabbatical at the moment, so the site is pretty much un-administered. I.e. the last time I looked their teaching software, a pretty routine thing that shows flash cards, asks multiple choice questions and so forth, was out of order, and I got a nonsense reply from the dimbulb in charge.
Still, I recommend these courses. Anyone who has done part of FSI will have the judgement to take advantage of the useful and skirt the problems.
