Hard disagree on this one. I learned how to program from CS50 with no prior experience. That introduction got me interested enough to pursue it as a career. I would highly recommend it for anyone who just wants to see what the whole programming thing is all about.
- kevinventullo 4y agoI did not intend to suggest CS50 required coding experience. My comment was more that the goal of CS50 seems to be about making the student a better coder by the end (including the case where the student has no coding experience). That does not seem to be the goal of Stanford’s CS101.
