Yes, Programming Languages by Dan Grossman! The course was later split up into three parts, with each part focusing on a particular language/paradigm: SML, Racket, and Ruby. Definitely one of the higher quality offerings on Coursera.

If you are in your twenties, read Starting Strength [1].

If you are in your fifties, read both Starting Strength and The Barbell Prescription [2].

The "Programming Languages" three part series by Dan Grossman is excellent.
