CS50

I started taking Harvard's CS50 Intro to Computing course when it cropped up in the middle of FreeCodeCamp's JavaScript programmer's course.

CS50 appears to be a fairly infamous course with several routes to take it including on campus and also via edX (known as CS50x).

Progress

I've so far completed 7 of the 8 problem sets with just the last remaining pset and the final project to go. Lectures are an easy watch and plenty of extra information available in the "Shorts" they provide alongside, recorded over the past few years by the TFs or students.
