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.
