An introduction to the intellectual enterprises of computer science and the art of programming. A 100-200 hours of Certification Courseby Harvard University on edX with a final project by Harvard University. This certification course started on February 17, 2016 (the certification course is in the form of a recorded video and runs on self-pace mode now.)
This is Harvard University's introduction to the intellectual enterprises of computer science and the art of programming for majors and non-majors alike, with or without prior programming experience. An entry-level course taught by David J. Malan, CS50x teaches students how to think algorithmically and solve problems efficiently. Topics included in this certification course are: abstraction, algorithms, data structures, encapsulation, resource management, security, software engineering, and web development. Languages included in this certification course are: C, Python, SQL, and JavaScript plus CSS and HTML. Problem sets inspired by real-world domains of biology, cryptography, finance, forensics, and gaming. As of Fall 2016, the on-campus version of CS50x, CS50, was Harvard's largest course.
