Udacity CS101 Resources
Unforunately, as of Sept 2019, Udacity is redirecting all the links to this course to an unrelated "Introduction to Python Programming" (without any actual risk of being exposed to any computer science course). The link to https://classroom.udacity.com/courses/cs101/ seems to still work (but requires registering for a Udacity account to see it).
The videos are all available (and were released under a Creative Commons license, so can be mirrored) on youtube (Playlist).
Course Notes
Each link is a PDF file. For HTML versions of the notes, see the course wiki.

Books
I've written two introductory computer science books, but neither is too closely related to this course.

"If only I had this book when I was a young student, I might have done
something useful with my life like discover a new complexity class
instead of dropping out and wasting my life on flipping pancakes,
playing with basic blocks, and eradicating polo." |
