A New Course - CS50

A New Course - CS50

I began a online course at EDx named CS50x, which is an introduction to computer programming taught by David Malan. So far the course has met my expectations: the material is accessible online. The studies are not too aloof, and the instructor is cool. Class is on Thursday for the lecture and I have been studying a lot. The course is straight-forward, and will introduce me to many of the languages that I have put off getting to know, like C, Python, and Sql. It will work with html, CSS3, and Javascript which will enable me to post my lessons on here and to get the problem set marked up on my weekly turn in to the instructor. Will learn to produce Arrays and the Algorithms needed to put in the "black box" in between input and output.Need to update my camera so that the first problem set can be completed, but that is just a matter of getting to BestBuy to replace it. Am moving all over my computer so will need to pay attention to which keys I am pressing in order to keep track of my lessons.

The first class required me to learn a new program called "scratch." It refreshed my memory as far as binary and unicode. The utf-8 that is put into the head of my code up top. The course has already given me a new finger memory as far as key coding. It is exciting to be coding again.
