哈佛大学cs50课程笔记_哈佛CS50指南：如何为您选择正确的课程（带有免费证书）

哈佛大学cs50课程笔记

In January, I wrote an article on Class Central about CS50, Harvard’s Introduction to Computer Science, which offers a free certificate. In this article, I'll go over CS50’s entire 10-course lineup, seven of which also offer a free certificate.

1月，我在Class Central上写了一篇关于CS50的文章 ，这是哈佛大学的《计算机科学概论》 ，提供免费证书。 在本文中，我将介绍CS50的整个10门课程阵容，其中七个还提供免费证书。

CS50：原始课程 (CS50: The Original Course)

CS50 is taught by Harvard Professor David J. Malan. Back in 2015, when Class Central contributor Charlie Soliman reviewed the course, he said this about Professor Malan:

CS50由哈佛大学教授David J. Malan教授。 早在2015年，当班级中央贡献者查理·索利曼(Charlie Soliman) 回顾了这门课程时 ，他就马兰教授这样说：

At the risk of stating a cliché, his approach to teaching is unlike anything I have seen and can easily be labeled as revolutionary. One can detect the joy and effort he puts into each of his lectures.

冒着陈词滥调的风险，他的教学方法与我所见过的任何事物都不一样，并且很容易被称为革命性的。 人们可以察觉到他在每堂课中所付出的快乐和努力。

Having taken the course myself, I can say that this quote is as relevant today as it was back then. In fact, since the course is updated every year, it’s gotten even better.

我本人参加了该课程，我可以说这句话与今天一样具有现实意义。 实际上，由于该课程每年都会更新，因此变得越来越好。

Offered at Harvard since 2007 and on edX since 2012, CS50 has grown to become Harvard’s largest on-campus course, with 800+ students per term. It's also one of the world’s highest rated and most popular MOOCs ever, with 2M+ learners in total.

CS50 自2007年以来在哈佛提供， 2012年 以来在edX上提供，现已成长为哈佛最大的校园课程 ，每学期有800多名学生。 它也是世界上收视率最高 ， 最受欢迎的 MOOC之一，总共有200万以上的学习者。

And “CS50” has evolved from a code designating a single course to a brand encompassing multiple courses exploring different subjects, targeting different audiences, and stacking into different learning paths.

而且，“ CS50”已经从指定单一课程的代码演变为涵盖多个课程的品牌， 这些课程探索不同的主题，针对不同的受众，并融入不同的学习路径。

To make sense of CS50’s offerings, I partly audited each course, I explored their online communities, and I contacted their course staff. I found that Professor Malan often replies to emails himself — a nice touch considering the course has over 100 staff.

为了理解CS50的产品，我对每门课程进行了部分审核，探索了他们的在线社区，并联系了他们的课程工作人员。 我发现马兰教授经常自己回覆电子邮件-考虑到该课程有100多名员工，这很不错。

CS50：扩展产品 (CS50: The Expanded Offering)

CS50’s full offering currently comprises ten courses that can be broken down into three levels as shown in the table below. As you can see, seven courses offer a free certificate.

CS50的全部课程目前包括十个课程，可以分为三个级别，如下表所示。 如您所见，七门课程提供免费证书。

基础课程 (Basic Course)

Currently, CS50 only offers one basic course. It can be seen as an optional on-ramp to CS50’s core courses. If you don’t feel ready for a formal introduction to computer science, this is a good place to start.

目前，CS50仅提供一门基础课程。 可以将其视为CS50核心课程的可选入门课程。 如果您不准备正式开始计算机科学入门，那么这是一个不错的起点。

CS50了解技术— CS50T (CS50 Understanding Technology — CS50T)

CS50T is a gentle introduction to the world of computing. It starts at the hardware level and works its way up from there. It explores how the internet works, how websites are created, how security is ensured, and ends with coding basics.

CS50T是对计算世界的温和介绍。 它从硬件级别开始，然后从那里开始。 它探讨了互联网的工作原理，网站的创建方式，如何确保安全性以及以编码基础结尾。

The course is taught by David J. Malan. It involves about 4 hours of study per week over 6 weeks. This course offers the following certificate options:

该课程由David J. Malan教授。 在6周内，每周大约需要学习4个小时。 本课程提供以下证书选项：

核心课程 (Core Courses)

Currently, CS50 offers four core courses. These include the original CS50 as well as variants geared toward different types of learners. This is where most learners want to start.

目前，CS50提供四门核心课程。 其中包括原始的CS50以及针对不同类型学习者的变体。 这是大多数学习者想要开始的地方。

One course should be plenty. But learners that take a variant may want to also take the original CS50 — especially if they plan to continue with a follow-up course.

一门课程应该足够。 但是，采用变体的学习者可能还希望采用原始的CS50，尤其是如果他们计划继续学习后续课程时。

CS50计算机科学概论 (CS50 Introduction to Computer Science)

CS50 is Harvard’s computer science introduction. It starts with binary and goes up the ladder of abstraction from machine code to low-level languages to high-level languages.
