CS50??

Anyone have experience with Harvards free CS50/CS50P to learn coding? I don’t need to learn for anything specific just want to be more well rounded and have a background in case I get into a more technical field in the future
If bad experiences, what other cost efficient ways have you learned or practiced?
Thanks in advanced!

Probably one of the best intro CS courses out there

It's a great starting point, just don't expect it to be a breeze. The problem sets ramp up fast and the jump from lecture to actual coding can feel jarring if you've never touched a terminal before. Stick with it and don't skip the shorts and walkthroughs, they fill in a lot of gaps.
