Last date to join: 16th July, 2024

Hii I am a university student studying computer science, and I'm looking to form a study group bc I learn best when discussing with ppl, asking questions and thru visual methods! Pls reach out (comments/ DM) if ur interested to join! I am SUPER interested to get a head start into CS in the remaining summer break: Harvard CS50: Introduction to CS50 (looking for study buddies for w4-w6) University of Helsinki: Java Programming Side note: I personally find it manageable to understand the lecture content but get stunned when told to write any code from scratch. If any knowledgeable/ experienced coders could share resources that may be useful for me, I wld be extremely grateful too !!

Description

This is CS50x , 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 include abstraction, algorithms, data structures, encapsulation, resource management, security, software engineering, and web development. Languages include C, Python, SQL, and JavaScript plus CSS and HTML. Problem sets inspired by real-world domains of biology, cryptography, finance, forensics, and gaming. The on-campus version of CS50x , CS50, is Harvard's largest course.

Students who earn a satisfactory score on 9 problem sets (i.e., programming assignments) and a final project are eligible for a certificate. This is a self-paced course–you may take CS50x on your own schedule.
