A couple for you that I found invaluable as I taught myself programming:

1. Team Treehouse. They now have a huge library covering just about anything he could imagine wanting to learn, mostly geared towards beginners. Much of their work is a) project-based so students can understand the practical implications of what they’re learning and b) split up into short videos/sections to help keep their attention.

2. App Academy Open. App Academy just opened up their introductory curriculum in a series of short-form videos and programming exercises that are highly-entertaining and practical.

Once he’s graduated from those, I’d second the recommendation here to check out techyourselfcs.com. Bradfield is a fantastic resource for self-taught programmers who want to build up their CS fundamentals.
