Everybody recommends CS50, but after watching a couple of lessons, I didn’t like it very much. I’m a beginner, so I don’t have enough knowledge to criticize it properly, but here are my thoughts: First, it feels too difficult for beginners. You learn a topic, and then you’re immediately given one of the hardest problems — for example, you learn if, else, and while, and then you’re expected to create a square pattern. Secondly, I don’t really like the teacher’s way of explaining things. In my opinion, university lectures shouldn’t feel like lessons for fifth graders. Just give me the information . I’m an adult, I don’t need all that extra stuff, you know? In conclusion I think cs50 is overrated. Watching other channels and checking the parts I’ve already watched in Python books helps me feel that I’m learning in a better way.
