I know of two instructional college courses about IDL taught by
astronomers with online notes and exercises. (Presumably at a beginning
level, most of the material can apply to fields besides astronomy.)
Robert O'Connell (U. of Virginia) has written a guide to IDL for
Astronomers
( http://www.astro.virginia.edu/class/oconnell/astr511/IDLguid e.html)
including exercises for class work.
(

)
Carl Heiles (UC Berkeley) has written a set of postscript file tutorials
on "Learning IDL
for Astronomy" (
http://www.ugastro.berkeley.edu/tutorials/tutorials.html)

There is also a course on "Programming for Imaging Science" at the
Rochester Institute of Technology http://www.cis.rit.edu/class/simg211/
which is an introduction to Unix and IDL.
