Discussion on "Is CS50 a good investment of time?"

After landing my first developer job, I let myself take some “time off” from continued learning outside of work. I have an (unused) bachelor’s in education, so continued learning is something I’m passionate about. My love for learning is part of why ...

I took the course back in 2020 during the pandemic. I knew absolutely nothing about programming but this course taught me almost everything I know right now. I'm beginning to job hunt again so I'm currently taking it again (2023 version) to refresh on the CS fundamentals. This time around, I always tackle the more comfortable psets in contrast to when I took it first time and only did the less comfortable ones. David did a great job.

I did the CS50 this year, and I thought it excellent. Here my post .

I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about CS, but keep in mind that the exercises are complex. So if you're not a programmer, watch the classes is already an excellent goal to learn more.

Congratulations on finishing the course! I agree. The exercises are complex, but you come away with some great CS foundations.

I enrolled in the course a few days ago but noticed a lot has already been covered already. So I've decided to wait so I can start when they officially kick off next year.

Thanks for sharing your experience, Sarah. I would love to read more about this if you can share. Also, good luck with the hackathon. ✅

That sounds like a good plan! They update the videos and course every January so you'll be able to get nice, fresh content.

You really don't need to wait till next year before you begin. I would say you begin now, if you can't meet up with the deadline, your pset scores will be carried over to the next year.
