My Experience With Havard's Web Programming Course (CS50W) by GeoAfrikana(m): 7:17pm On Apr 29, 2021 |
August last year, I enrolled for Havard's CS50W: Web Programming with Python and JavaScript. To be honest, the course was far from easy. It was supposed to take 3 months but I spent 6 months. The course featured six projects including one final project. Project 0: Search Design a frontend for Google search. This took me two months to complete. It requires just HTML and CSS. I used bootstrap to support my weak CSS. Project 1: Wiki Design a wikipedia-like web app. The app must allow users to enter data in markdown format but should display as HTML. So your backend must convert markdown to html. There are about five more specifications. Project 2: commerce Design a e-commerce website that allows users sign in, upload a product for auctioning, bid on a product. Once the product owner closes the auction, the highest bidder should automatically be declared winner. Project 3: Mail Design an app that enables users send and read mail. The app must be a one-page app. Meaning that there should be no page throughout the whole functionality of the app. So you must use Asynchronous JavaScript loading (Ajax). Project 4: Network Design a social media app that lets users create posts, edit posts and like posts. It should also be a single page app and must use pagination. Project 5: Capstone This is the final project. No rigid specification except that it must be different from all other past projects in the course. Also, it must make use of at least two models (Django developers know this). I built a quiz app that that enables visitors create an account, sign in and logout. Registered users can take the quiz. Users who have above a certain score can submit questions. I the quiz page uses Ajax so once you submit a question, it displays another question without reloading the page. The app also uses the inbuilt Django admin to enable superusers approve a submitted question among other functions. This Youtube playlist shows the demonstration of each of my projects: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL__WA5iiRT528Lwzr1l-tBDRZREArcnEm My tips and advise 1. It's not going to be easy. In fact it looks impossible but it's possible. At some time you'll be clueless but the clue will always come later. 2. Sometimes you might need to take some days off to watch videos on youtube. 3. There are notes on the website. Read the notes. 4. Pay. If you're taking it for free, you might not be serious. However, apply for scholarship to reduce the cost. 5. You don't need to be extraordinarily brilliant. You just need to be perseverant. Good luck. 11 Likes 1 Share

Cybercop2002:It's available on Edx.org. I applied for scholarship so I got a big discount and eventually paid just below 4k.

GeoAfrikana:thanks pls share me the link and how many language will i be taught , will they teach me html css and js |
Re: My Experience With Havard's Web Programming Course (CS50W) by GeoAfrikana(m): 9:43pm On Apr 29, 2021 |
misterjosh: Yes, I have. The course is intensive and isn't meant for absolute beginners. It's supposed to be taken after CS50: Introduction to computer science. In CS50 you'll learn: - how computers work (binary) - how to think like a computer using a game called 'scratch' - before going to C, a low level programming language - you'll also learn a high level programming language like python. I once took CS50 but didn't complete it. But if you've learnt basic python before then you're good to take CS50W. 1 Like |

Cybercop2002: CS50w is absolutely free. The certificate is also free (except you want a verified certificate, then you have to pay some amount ) #cheers |

Diction10nairal:I never knew this. Thanks for sharing. Anyways, I'm glad I paid. Perhaps, if I didn't pay, I wouldn't have been motivated enough to finish it. |
