I'm starting university in the 2026-2027 season and I want to gain some coding experience beforehand. I've already completed a Linux course, so I have a little background, but I'm still a beginner. Initially, I was set on learning C++ because it's often recommended for game development. However, I came across the CS50 Python course from Harvard, and I've read that it's one of the best courses available online. Plus, you can earn a free certificate at the end. My main questions are: will taking CS50 with Python help me transition to C++, and how valuable is the certificate from this course? Should I dive into CS50?

Honestly, stop watching videos and just start coding! Choose a language you like, it’ll speed up your learning process. No shortcuts here—practice is key!
