I'm going to sort out all my links before posting them onto this blog, but in the meantime, you can refer to the page on my other blog for resources to learn French.
Where to Start
Duolingo and Memrise are pretty good bets in general. With these two, you start with a solid foundation of sentence structure and vocabulary. There are enough French courses on Memrise that, if you want to learn the specific vocabulary for something (like computer vocabulary) there's a good chance that it exists. I'd also recommend Lingvist . Wish I knew about this when I started French.
I'd recommend starting with these Memrise courses:
Hacking French
Learn Basic French
A few further courses to advance your basic vocabulary:
Conjugations - When you finish this course, you should be able to conjugate and recognize conjugations fairly well.
Intermediate French
Advanced French
Here are courses that I've made because I wanted to learn specific things. If you want to learn the same things, you may find them useful. These have about 99% audio, so you can hear how they are pronounced.
