Thisis CS50x , Harvard University's introduction to the intellectual enterprises of computer science and the art of programming for majors and non-majors alike, with or without prior programming experience. An entry-level course taught by David J. Malan, CS50x teaches students how to think algorithmically and solve problems efficiently. Topics include abstraction, algorithms, data structures, encapsulation, resource management, security, software engineering, and web development. Languages include C, Python, SQL, and JavaScript plus CSS and HTML. Problem sets inspired by real-world domains of biology, cryptography, finance, forensics, and gaming. The on-campus version of CS50x , CS50, is Harvard's largest course.

Have you ever wished you knew how to program, but had no idea where to start from? This course will teach you how to program in Scratch, an easy to use visual programming language. More importantly, it will introduce you to the fundamental principles of computing and it will help you think like a software engineer.


Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:


The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.


When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.


Whereas CS50x itself focuses on computer science more generally as well as programming with C, Python, SQL, and JavaScript, this course, aka CS50P, is entirely focused on programming with Python. You can take CS50P before CS50x, during CS50x, or after CS50x. But for an introduction to computer science itself, you should still take CS50x!


Obtain the foundational skills needed to begin your goal of becoming a programmer.This course introduces first-time programmers to basic programming techniques and principles using the popular Python Programming language. Python's simple syntax is similar to the English language making it easy to comprehend and allows programmers to write code with fewer lines.


Recommendation: Students who find this course challenging, should consider taking CSE-41318 Introduction to Front End Technologies which will provide a solid foundation in programming principles and logic.


Online Asynchronous.



This course is entirely web-based and to be completed asynchronously between the published course start and end dates. Synchronous attendance is NOT required.

You will have access to your online course on the published start date OR 1 business day after your enrollment is confirmed if you enroll on or after the published start date.

Computer science and engineering increasingly shapes the way we live and interact with the world around us. Computing has transformed nearly every industry, from law and government, to education and health care, to travel and entertainment. It also has become an essential tool for researchers in every scientific and business discipline, as we have entered an age of data-driven discovery.


Each of CSE 121, CSE 122, and CSE 123 has two large class meetings and two small (Students without programming experience -- see our guided self-placement to help you choose among CSE 121, CSE 122, and CSE 123 if you haven't already taken any of them. All three courses enthusiastically welcome students based on self-placement.


CSE 121 will be offered every quarter starting Fall 2022, and we expect it will serve thousands of students each year, several hundred each quarter. But remember two of the four weekly meetings will be in a recitation section of While CSE 121 will teach you useful programming skills you can use in to solve real problems, the next course is CSE 122, which covers additional essential topics for writing well-designed programs using powerful data structures.


CSE 122 is a programming course that uses the Java programming language to teach program design, style, and decomposition. Students use data structures such as lists, dictionaries, and sets (no experience with what these are expected) to solve computational problems motivated by modern societal and scientific needs. The course also uses basic object-oriented programming to separate an interface from an implementation.


CSE 122 is designed to be a "second programming course" for students who have taking a range of first programming courses. While it follows CSE 121, it is also the right starting point for students who took a programming course in high school that covered the CSE 121 programming features, such as AP Computer Science A. Prior experience does not need to be in Java. See our guided self-placement to help you choose among CSE 121, CSE 122, and CSE 123 if you haven't already taken any of them. All three courses enthusiastically welcome students based on self-placement.


CSE 122 will be offered every quarter starting Fall 2022, and we expect it will serve thousands of students each year, several hundred each quarter. But remember two of the four weekly meetings will be in a recitation section of CSE 123 emphasizes implementation and run-time analysis of data structures and algorithms using techniques including linked references, recursion, and object-oriented inheritance. Students will see how they can implement the data structures and abstractions they used in CSE 122 and how to use additional object-oriented features to create and use flexible software. They will use these techniques to solve computational problems motivated by modern societal and scientific needs.


Students can take CSE 123 after CSE 122 self-place into CSE 123 if they have substantial prior experience such that they are already familiar with the CSE 122 material. See our guided self-placement. The course content is designed for students aiming toward academic and career plans where software implementation is a major component


CSE 123 will be first offered Winter 2023 and will then be offered every quarter. Like CSE 121 and CSE 122, we are committed to having enough capacity for everyone, regardless of major or interest, interested in the course.


After CSE 123, students can take various upper-division computing courses. A good next step for students who enjoyed CSE 123 would be CSE 373 Data Structures, a more advanced course designed for non-majors. CSE 154 and CSE 163 complement CSE 123. Completion of CSE 123 satisfies the prerequisites for students to apply for admission to the Computer Science or Computer Engineering majors.


CSE 160 is particularly beneficial to students who wish to perform data analysis. Students who are majoring in or intend to major in one of the natural, physical or social sciences, or another data-intensive discipline, are encouraged to consider CSE 160 as a first course.


After completing CSE 160, students can already use programming for a variety of data analyses. For more data programming, including using common tools and libraries for a variety of types of data, continue on to CSE 163 Intermediate Data Programming. For students who are interested in taking additional programming classes or who intend to major in computer science or computer engineering, take CSE 122 (not CSE 121, which is for students without programming experience). Students who would like to learn how to build websites and web-based applications and have achieved a grade of at least 2.0 in CSE 160 can enroll in CSE 154 Web Programming.
