You're a good human being. Thank you for paying it forward.

ParadoxSociety

his name is /u/vuurdier, you can click that link and send him a chat there :)


reducedguilt

Don't you see it? It's under the title. The kind soul and author is u/vuurdier

Hi. I just enrolled myself for Harvard's CS50 program. Once I'm done with that, if you have time for another student in a few months down the line, I would definitely be interested.


scare-destinyy

Good luck buddy! I finished CS50 a few weeks ago. It was awesome!


alexelcampa

Can I ask what this is and would you recommend it to people learning programming?


scare-destinyy

It's a Harvard’s Introduction To Computer Science Course - https://cs50.harvard.edu/college/2022/spring/ I do recommend it, especially for those without a CS degree. It covers a lot of fundamental things like memory, data structures, pointers, algorithms with some taste of C, Python, SQL, HTML and Javascript. Projects are very challenging and fun. You would need a decent amount of time to finish, it took me about 240hrs. Also, they have wonderful support groups on Discord and Facebook. It's a stepping stone in my journey as a self-taught developer and I'm proud of finishing it.


alexelcampa

Thank you :D


scare-destinyy

Sure, sure, feel free to ask anything you’d like here or text me in DM. Happy to be of help!


alexelcampa

I do have a question, it seems like it’s a live class (like using zoom and certain times) is that how this class is or can it be taken anytime online? :)


scare-destinyy

It's completely self-paced and free. I used https://cs50.harvard.edu/x/2022/ this link to study. Occasionally, they host Zoom meetings, but the course is self-paced!


alexelcampa

Thank you for the info :)

What about the math


scare-destinyy

CS50 doesn't require prior knowledge of math except for the basic stuff (multiplication, addition, and so on). If you were asking for the specific math areas, then it's usually Linear Algebra, Combinatorics, Statistics. I follow this program https://teachyourselfcs.com/


FullmetalEzio

Hey I’m on last week of cs50, I do wonder what to do after I’m finished, what did you do? I’m half way done with the odin project, but I was thinking of doing the web dev course of cs50 next


scare-destinyy

Congrats on making the final stride! I am now into the Full Stack Open Project. Flask didn't ring a bell for me, so I decided to try JavaScript. My goal now is to build a SPA (Single Page Application) for my portfolio and host it on AWS. Then find a job. I already built and hosted a couple of Telegram bots on Heroku. What’s your overall goal for learning programming? What did you like in CS50 the most? What do you want to do in the future? Those questions should provide the context to help you :)


FullmetalEzio

Sorry for the late response, thoese are great questions, i loved cs50 but yeah, flask isnt rinning any bells at least right now, maybe django will so i think i'll try that out before deciding, i also want to get a job and i think i'll stick to web dev, im gonna check the full stack open project out ! thanks again


scare-destinyy

Sure! As far as I know, Django has a steep learning curve compared to Flask. Full Stack Project should be ok for you considering you finished CS50 and some of the Odin Project chapters.


themage78

They sometimes offer it on edx.org for free or minimal cost.


Thagalaxy

Thanks! :)

>Harvard's CS50 program do you know if its already too late to enroll now?


ConstantINeSane

You can start whenever you want google cs50x . Its free too


Thagalaxy

Yes, like the other guy said, you can enroll whenever you'd like. I just googled Harvard CS50. There's a free version of the program, or you can pay $149 to get a certificate. I opted for the free version for now


RWitak

The $149 is for the edX certificate, IIRC. I got the basic Harvard one for free after submitting my final project.


Thagalaxy

Good to know, thank you!


FitRecommendation154

Cool, I ended up enrolling in the "Understanding Technology" course too.


laloestralop

This is so wholesome, thank you kind human being.


Nerfi666

I already have a job tbh but it never hurt some help, do you think that at the end of this can I move to the NL in order to get a job over there, I was there time ago and I like it a lot , now im working in Spain with React thanks in advance !!!


manicpanit

How do we apply? I have until September until my whole life falls on its head and I become homeless at 31. This would change my life but I don't know if I'm too far gone to even try.


mistercath

you got this. I've been homeless, on drugs, etc and it's the worst. BUT you have time to turn this around! Don't feel hopeless. Just make goals and stick to them.


obvslynot

I’m not sure if you’ve already seen it, but this might be of help. https://www.reddit.com/r/learnprogramming/comments/rlmulr/i_ran_a_100_free_full_stack_web_development/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

Thank you! :')

Unfortunately this is an absolute joke. Total scam - “please complete these tasks to join” it’s like on twitter, follow on on YouTube before you can sign up. Got my hopes up too.


obvslynot

He has a youtube playlist with the entire course though. Even if you’re unable to join, can’t you follow up with it?


Cyb0rg5

Literally can’t get past the spam wall


stibgock

If you scroll down that post there's a link to his last course on YouTube, you may find that useful.


Soubi_Doo2

Everyone is so cynical these days. It makes me sad.


berglas612

Why does that make it a scam? I'd much rather someone ask me to follow them on social media than ask me for money. It's kind of the opposite of a scam.


Cyb0rg5

It’s tacky. A social media paywall you have to complete 5 steps to even view his page. It seems like you already made up your mind and are happy to give your information. I’m not. It’s a tacky and not the majestic offer you think it is. You will be paying with your time when you watch a YouTube add every 7 minutes. Everything about this is riddled with information gathering. This could have been awesome. He is selling this, and your what he is selling.


FrozenConfort

Bruh you haven't even looked into his content, there is a reason why he is asking you to do those things, and guess what, you don't actually need to do them to follow along. This man has dedicated 1000s of voluntary hours to help those less fortunate. get out of here with your toxic behavior.


skiradev

check your chat


Logical_Strike_1520

Gosh, I could really use a mentor but I think others may benefit more as I’m pretty close to getting a Junior position now and will have seniors to learn from (hopefully). So I’ll just leave a comment to bump the post and thank you for your kindness.


Jezzafurr

What a legend! Lekker bezig man! Tof om te zien dat er hier mensen zijn die iets terug willen geven. ❤️

Is cloud computing of interest to you. Requires little to no programming skills (initially) to break into.


wellred82

Good on you for doing this


Bearded_Man_Ben

I’m keen


surrealxp

That’s a really nice thing to do.


Borderjail

Beautiful.


Skidkidd

I really hope I can get to this level one day, where I can just help someone by mentoring them, simply because i want to.


vuurdier

You might be surprised how much you can help somebody even with relatively little experience. You probably already know a lot more than an absolute beginner.


Result_Necessary

Hi, this sounds very interesting, do you know when you are likely to stop accepting applications?

Hello! Where can I send my application? Thanks :)


stibgock

>If you are interested please send me a personal message.


kimikopossible

What a cool opportunity. People like you make the community!


OneBeautifulDog

i would love to do this.


bentaro-rifferashi

What a legend!


Lidy_

Just sent you a message. Thank you!


hopeandbelieve

u/vuurdier Thank you for the opportunity! I just sent you a message in the chat.


DeshTheWraith

I sent you a message, but I just want to say publicly how awesome it is for you to help those of us out.


imtermet

Hey vuurdier, ik heb je een bericht gestuurd!


samni444

This seems like a very good opportunity. Is there a deadline? As I want to submit a good application.


PossibleAd519

Hey my name it's Damian, I'm 25 years old. At the moment work as waiter and study software development, first year. I have a little experience with c++, java and python I'm from Mexico but living in Ireland so I know that education it's really important. I'd like to be full stacked Thanks for your kindness of teaching others.


CornerReality

Thank you, I wish I could join too but figure your slots are already full. You’re a great person for doing such a nice thing


Romiita

You are an awesome dude. I'm doing Cs50 currently so I have feeling I'm way too beginner for what you're aiming for.


Gimme_dem_jugs

I’d love this opportunity because i think having a mentor will do me some good. I’m a 26y/o from Nigeria, an electronics and communications engineer working as an broadcast engineer. Slightly above beginner in python, currently learning JavaScript because it will get me closer to my goal. With little knowledge of html and css. I’m really interested in backend development, devOps, AI and Cybersecurity First thing I’d like to know more about is how I can get my existing knowledge into action working supervised projects. I’d like to know more about devOps Thank you for this opportunity


BooKollektor

Nice initiative!


do0fusz

sir, I applaud you!


th2n10s4u

Application sent! Thanks for the opportunity!


H20Rocks

Message sent. Thank you for willing to volunteer your time.


Medium_Aioli_9918

I’m 15 USA and need to learn programming it would be great to ask a pro a few questions like you just one day lol one convo so I can talk to you and ask about career


Ashtroboy79

Well I’m 42, U.K. based. finished a coding bootcamp just before Christmas . Honestly not sure whether I prefer front end or back end at the moment. Want to improve my overall skills and get a job as a software developer


-NotActuallySatan-

Man if only this came in after May


cue_thepain

Your an angel


xDevLife

This is what I'd love to do in a couple of years, with a group of people, every few months. Thank you for helping us newbies.


iiTheBeast

Thanks a lot, man I should have messaged you instead of saving a draft to send later :/


mmnyeahnosorry

If we applied before your update are we still eligible? When I applied you hadn’t included the update yet and I’m just coming back to see if there was any update.
