Professional Certificate in Computer Science for Python Programming

This is Harvard’s famous CS50 course bundled together with CS50’s Introduction to Python as one program: Computer Science for Python Programming.

Get an introduction to the intellectual enterprises of computer science and the art of programming using a language called Python. In this two-course Professional Certificate program you can kick off your programming journey with an Introduction to Computer Science (CS50x), which focuses on computer science more generally as well as an entry into programming with Python along with C, SQL, and JavaScript, plus HTML and CSS. To further your skills for programming with Python, you can then turn to course 2, CS50’s Introduction to Programming with Python (CS50P). In this course, you will learn how to read and write code as well as how to test and "debug" it. This course recaps lessons learned in CS50x and then dives all the more deeply into Python itself. The program features hands-on opportunities for exercises inspired by real-world programming problems. No software required except for a web browser, or you can write code on your own PC or Mac. Both courses in this program are entry-level courses for students with no programming experience or prior background, taught by David J. Malan who teaches CS50 on the Harvard campus - one of Harvard University’s largest courses!
