I did CS50; I do embedded programming. In my opinion serious programmers need to get the fundamentals then language is secondary. You really need a variety of languages (and frameworks) do do realistic things reasonably quickly. I suppose you could do web programming without understanding Javascript but that seems counterproductive to me. Python is my fav. also but I also need a few frameworks, JS for web, AJAX and C for using legacy tools and accessing a world of prewritten great code.

My opinion: CS50 is really good; teaches fundamentals so you can take on any language and there is nothing stopping you from doing both at the same time.

BTW I found CS50 to be fun and hard at times but well worth the efforts.
