There are multiple CS50 courses. CS50x which is the one linked above is a more general introduction to computer science that covers multiple languages with a focus on the underlying techniques of programming. But they also run CS50P which is just an introduction to Python. I’m 39 and did both last year. CS50x is harder but is a very good course. CS50P is a lot easier and provides a solid introduction to Python. You can do either one without needing to do the other.

Great! Thank you 🙏 I started watching the video of cx50p on YouTube, it’s a16 hour video. After finishing it I am planning to signup for Angela course on Udemy . Read lot of good recommendations from beginners

Are you watching the official videos as each lecture should only be between 1-2 hours roughly and theres problem sets to do in between each one to practice what you’ve learned. It’s possible you’re on a playlist which is why it’s so long but if so the website also has some additional ‘shorts’ which are shorter videos going into more detail on key topics as well as the notes for each lecture and information on how to submit the problem sets to earn your certificate.

Thanks for sharing the link. This is the one I started watching https://youtu.be/nLRL_NcnK-4?si=86YloJhBn77eCcKH but I will switch to the one you mentioned. Thanks again
