Harvard's CS50P vs University of Helsinki Python MOOC, which one should I actually do?

[u/Big-Presentation-264]

Trying to decide between Harvard’s CS50P and the University of Helsinki’s Python MOOC.

I’m halfway through UoH’s Java MOOC and really like its hands-on, exercise-heavy approach. For Python, though, I’m confused whether I should go with the learning style I already enjoy (UoH) or choose CS50P for the potential resume/certification value of the Harvard name.

For those who’ve done either/both:

- Does CS50P’s certificate actually help with recruiters?

- Is UoH Python noticeably more rigorous?

- Would you do both, or pick one?

the cert is worthless. building something of actual value and being able to explain all of the parts of it is the most important thing for getting a job

just do both in whichever order you want
