I can't give you any stats other than positive feedback I have gotten,
but the Salman Khan style of video teaching seems to work well for
programming as well as for math.
My video series, Squeak from the very start, is a very conscious effort
to duplicate his style:

Friends characterize my video style as being like a mentor in a
pair-programming session.
