Harvard’s CS50 course is free online and does a pretty good job touching on the fundamentals of C in the first half.

Ever since edX had their IPO, I hesitate to call it free. Each edX course is free for a limited time now and their prices are way too high if you aren't interested in a certificate and the certificates aren't worth much in the employment market. They need a $50 option for no certificate and "unlimited" course access.

The content isn’t exclusive to edX, though.

Harvard hosts it outside of edX.

That puts a bit of organizational overhead on the learner. The material is all there and organized, but it's not as conveniently presented nor does it mark your progress automatically. I like that they switched to GitHub code spaces and away from cloud9 which complicated things further.
