Comment on “This was CS50”: Yale ends largest computer science course

Sad to see. I took the free online version of the course a few years ago. It was really well organized. Although it faltered near the last classes (excessive focus on web site application) it was undoubtedly the best introductory course available for free on the web and perhaps even better than most paid ones. I do wish we could find out who was the secret donor, not to berate them, just to say thanks.
I took one of the free CS50 classes (among others) on EdX years and years ago, and honestly it helped get me into the business and into the job I have now.
It’s fun to joke I took a MIT class for free. But it honestly helped me learn some logic and enough stuff to get me going.

The online version will remark free and available. The in-person, for credit course is being discontinued. Unless you are an incoming Harvard student, this won’t affect you.
