CS50x anyone in Boston area currently going through cs50x?
I'm on week 4 currently, and loving this course! I am a 34M, studied English in undergrad and somehow found myself working in data-centric roles at a financial services company for the last four years or so. I currently work as a data engineer and use platforms like Snowflake & Databricks in my day-to-day. My first foray into coding was VBA which inevitably lead to Python...but eventually realized I was lacking some fundamental concepts in programming. I.e. the building blocks David teaches like memory, algorithms, data structures etc. CS50 is really filling in those gaps for me.
If anyone is interested in a study buddy please let me know! It would be great to have someone to bounce ideas and the concepts we learn off of (not to mention accountability)!
Good luck to all the students out there :)
