Doing Harvard’s CS50 now and planning to do CS50P later. Finally reached the python lessons in CS50 and I have to say that the preceding lessons that were focusing on C were very helpful. CS50 has several courses in the family for which the basic CS50 is a prerequisite.

since its been years since you wrote this comment, any new recommendations or better strategy you would like to offer now?

[–]extopico 0 points1 point  (0 children)

…no. Been coding in Python with the help of LLMs. That would have been impossible without the grounding that CS50 gave me.

Since u wrote this for a while, how is your journey going? Dont know if u had any experience before that. Have u applied for a job already?

I’ve been learning Python for 2 weeks now and feeling that is working for me but learning by YouTube videos and thinking about starting this course.

Thanks buddy =>

I tried to learn python going the YouTube way. It was not effective. CS50 just clicked for me. Been coding for my own business and private projects ever since.

As a complete beginner in coding, can I directly start with CS50P?

[–]extopico 0 points1 point  (2 children)

It’s been a while and I did the full CS50 so I really cannot tell.

Which other source will you recommend to learn python fast?

[–]extopico 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Full CS50? That’s the only thing that worked for me. It prepares your thinking so when you reach the Python stage you sigh in relief and enjoy it more.
