    You don't need to go online to learn programming. All you need is a PC (Linux or Windows) with some language support and a book. As a matter of fact you can even teach programming without a PC (at least theoretically).

    Nowadays, in our minds, looks impossible to learn programming offline, with no computer access.

    But I'm sure one can learn flow chart, data structure, algorithms, and many more, offline. I learned those things in my education (secondary school and University) all offline.

      data structure, algorithms,

      Yes, Computer Science as such is easier to teach/learn offline; but Programming - A subset of CS makes it difficult due to its requirement of a compiler. Source link has resources which details how it can be done.
