After slacking off for several months, or maybe years, I really started to take this course.
This course has been on my EdX dashboard for two years, and finally I'm doing this.
It's in English so it is really hard to understand everything as I'm a non-native.
But Professor David J. Malan, the instructor of this course, is explaining everything as nice and easy as possible in a funny way :)
I should have tried this course sooner.
To confess, I skipped Scratch because I hated cats, (ridiculous, I know,) but I'm really trying out the first week activities with CS50 appliance.
The course uses VMware softwares, which the company offers for free to students taking variations of CS50.
I'm getting a lot of error reports with six lines, but fixing what's wrong makes it much more interesting.
Moreover, the greatest merit of this course is that its community is well-built throughout many platforms.
If I'm having some kind of trouble, there is always somebody who experienced the same thing before me, and I can easily google it.
I'm writing this because I've been watching small characters too long.
It's really nice to get a nice laptop, but a screen with very high resolution and size not enough for that kinda screws the eyesight.
I have to squint every time.
Anyway, it's a great course, this is what MOOCs are for, you can really experience truly great advantages of the open course through this and get quality education for free at the same time:)
