Harvard University CS50

Post by Smith1776 » Wed Mar 24, 2021 6:16 pm

I am enjoying my newfound freedom in being able to pursue learning and projects without the obligation of exams and the like. For those of you who don't know, Harvard University's CS50 series of courses on computer science are completely free to take online. Despite being free, the courses have full assignment assessments (if you choose to do them) and even a certificate of completion at the end.

Even if you are already familiar with computer science concepts or are already some kind of professional, the lectures are extremely engaging. David Malan is a brilliant speaker, and his passion for the subject really shines through.

I still find the James Rickards portfolio fascinating.

It looks like he has a flight of beers in front of him. I have a name for #8: The Enlightenferment.
You there, Ephialtes. May you live forever.

You are correct! It at first confused me!

It appeals to me. I can add to that "that list". But here are so many other things already on "that list" that I doubt I'd ever get to it.
