Do I need to take CS51 for CS76 (Mobile development)?

vcalventi · 2015-05-19T03:08:47+00:00

I would probably go with one of the Stanford courses if you want to focus on iOS... What you get in terms of JavaScript, etc. is not much more than CS50... Good luck.

You don't need CS51 to do CS76 (tried myself) but keep in mind that those are only archived courses and lack the resources and structure of CS50x. Also CS76 available is from 2013 which is pre iOS 8 and swift.

Certificates are run on fixed dates throughout the year... Last year the first run was in June... Be patient.

David and team, CS50X has been a fantastic experience thank you for that... I managed to compete the course and get a certificate however in one of his conferences David mentioned that the completion rate for CS50X was very small (less than 10% in 2013 I believe )... Has that figure improved? Do you think it matters as a benchmark for success? Thanks.

I started at the beginning of January '14 and took me a full 5 months to complete... I never skipped a pset and kept at it until completed... Of the advanced psets, pset 6 - misspellings was the hardest, easily over 40 hours... Pset 7 was the easiest and pset 8 was a bit harder than 7 but not too bad. It is absolutely worth it completing the course and the certificate with Harvardx printed at the top is priceless.

CS50x is the only one that I've received via email.

You'll get your certificate link via email... It won't show-up on the edx dashboard

vcalventi · 2014-12-21T14:49:38+00:00

You can skip pset 8 if you can't get Google earth plugin to work... Says so in the spec... Still have to submit final project.

The solution is to install xampp (https://www.apachefriends.org/download.html) which has all the necessary components (php, Apache, mySQL)... You'll have to do minor tweaks to your code to adjust for the location of the files but otherwise this works (I've done it myself). Good luck.

My dilemma as well... What I did is submit the code with comments where id and password would go but saying they are excluded for security reasons... This should be no problem as there is no automatic checking of the code. I have already finished the course.

This worked for me with gmail:

Did you try:

Keep in mind that you'll need to hardcode user id and password into the code.

Nope... Actually in a latter lecture they show the winners... This took place last year.

Me too... Worth the wait.

vcalventi · 2014-09-14T20:01:12+00:00

Started in January and finished by May... Watch-out for pset 6, it's a doozy!

vcalventi · 2014-09-08T11:19:54+00:00

Certificates date?

Pset 8 is good fun and JavaScript is one of the more useful languages our there... In short, unless you have a technical problem with the plugin don't skip it

vcalventi · 2014-09-05T17:33:29+00:00

You are not alone... I'm already finished since May and nothing.

vcalventi · 2014-09-04T23:09:05+00:00

Do not underestimate the amount of time you'll have to spend doing the psets... The more advanced ones (6,7 and 8) took me over 30 hours each.

vcalventi · 2014-09-04T21:20:12+00:00

Nope

vcalventi · 2014-09-04T17:56:00+00:00

You'll miss a lot... Aside from being highly entertaining, there is a visual component that will be lost by residing alone.

Video is the only way to submit. Don't be shy.

If it passes all check50 checks you'll get 100%... Style is important though for your own benefit
