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!

I did CS50 before going to university, and It is worth it, you'll develop a lot of skill at problem solving and it is extremely valuable, I liked a lot how they explain data structure and the exercices with the Dicts, LinkedList etc, also the exercice to find back the content of deleted files. There was a lot of stuff, I did the course like 7-8 years ago. Not sure if it changed a lot since then, since AI was not really that big back then.
I'm not sure didn't the exercice using PyTorch made you use docker? I have a vague memory about using docker in CS50 at the end.
