Hey /g/ have any of you taken CS50 ? If so what did you think about it.

I gave it a try after I tried and hated Python.I only did the first 3 weeks, then I started learning Java instead, but it's a very great course. I learned more in those first few assignments than I did from 2+ months of learning Python. The assignments make you actually think instead of just holding your hand and doing everything for you. C is a great language for actually learning how programming works, if you work through that course you'll definitely be better for it. I usually don't like lectures, but they are sort of useful if you use them right. I would read the notes for the week first, then watch the lecture while i'm eating, then I would read the notes again, skim through the slides etc, and then try to tackle the assignments. You will likely have to google a few things along the way, but if you're willing to actively learn that course is pretty dope. I plan to go back and finish it one day.

I have just completed the first lecture and it was quite basic but he explained everything very well and kept me interested. What made you stop after 3 weeks and switch to Java ?

Java is the language they use for the first year at the school I was hoping to go to. Is this you first time programming?

I can't load it in either firefox nor chrome, where are you guys browsing it?

CS50 is shit, if you want to learn C use K.N. King C programming a modern approach.
If you want to learn python use automate the boring stuff.

CS50 is about programming, not a programming language.

no shit, but it isn't really that good.

Wrong

lmaooo have fun watching 2 hour videos that are complete shit maybe open a fucking book and do all the programming projects & exercises instead of watching 2 hour videos.
