Learn To Code At Harvard For Free

If you’ve resolve to learn to code this year, one of our favourite Lifehacker U courses is just starting up: Harvard’s CS50X. It will teach you the basics of computer programming from the ground up. It’s happening now, so if you want to get involved, don’t wait.

Here’s what Harvard has to say about this course:

CS50x is Harvard College’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, PHP, and JavaScript plus SQL, CSS, and HTML. Problem sets inspired by real-world domains of biology, cryptography, finance, forensics and gaming.
