Has anyone taken the Harvard CS50 Introduction to Computer Science?

I have been learning Data Analytics and Data Visualization since 2017 but my background and education is in real estate finance.

I've taken a six month boot camp at the start of my journey, but I don't feel like I'm on the same level as computer science majors with experience in data science industry.

I'm two lessons into the edex Harvard cs50 course and I haven't learned anything new yet.

Awesome, I'll take a look. Thanks

I'm aiming to break into data engineering, being a data scientist, or software engineering. I figured CS50 might help me be a little more targeted with my self learning. I'd love to hear from someone's first hand experience or if they have any other recommendations.

I work full time as a data analyst so I don't want to do another boot camp.

Thanks everyone

Hi all, I’m looking to re-enter the workforce. I had to take a career pause @ the beginning of the pandemic because I had a child. I have 5+ years of experience in life science (bench top, pathology in a hospital, startup, and most recently clinical research). I’d like to make a slight pivot into a health informatics, clinical data or data analytics position but I’m also open to non clinical research positions like regulatory/quality assurance etc. Does anyone have any recommendations? TIA

Hello Fishes,

Though I am doing decent in this role, feeling out of place here. Could you please suggest some profiles in banking industry where I would be able to use my financial knowledge, analytical skills and learn something new.
