For anybody that might not have heard, Harvard University launched Intro to Programming with Python last year, which is a free 9-week course for complete beginners and includes a free certificate of completion at the end.
It’s taught by the same professor who teaches Harvard’s Intro to CS, the university’s most-popular on-campus course.
The course is very hands-on with weekly problem sets and a final project that you complete through an in-browser code editor.
You can also take the course via edX but there, the certificate costs $199. If you take it through Harvard OpenCourseWare, the course is exactly the same but the certificate is entirely free.
I completed the CS50x course and it was very good!, although I believe its too difficult for 100% beginners. I do recommend people to check it out though!
I’m not a beginner and I got lost at the end of the section on C. Might give this python course a try and look at CS50 again on the other side of it.
Thank you! I’m just starting my journey learning to code, I’ll definitely check this out.
CS50 courses are legit, I learnt a lot from taking CS50 as a teenager even if I didn’t manage to complete it back then, should get around to finishing it sometime.
