I've noticed that many people are recommending the CS50 Python courses, especially the Harvard Introduction to Computer Science, which has its entire lectures available for free on YouTube. I'm looking for insights from those who have taken the course: How beneficial did you find it? Did it provide a solid foundation in computer science or Python? I'm trying to decide if it's worth my time or if there are better options for beginners. Would love to hear your experiences!

Absolutely! The CS50 courses are among the best free resources available right now. They’ve helped a lot of people build a great foundation in programming and computer science.
If you're looking for more options, you might want to check out the Python Programming MOOC from the University of Helsinki. I'm currently doing both the CS50P and that course in parallel, and they're both excellent! Good luck!
Thanks a lot! Will definitely check that out.
I have to say no—the course wasn't for me. But I've heard a lot of good things from others.
I'm currently going through CS50, and I really like it! The teaching style is engaging, and the material is well-structured.
I tried CS50 SQL, and honestly, I wasn't impressed. Just didn't click for me.
I see, thanks a lot!
