Are new programmer actually learning the wrong way??

Based on my observation, among many new programmers were too excited by start learning high-level languages (Python, Ruby, PHP, etc..) straight without having a clear understanding of how computer fundamentally works. While there are countless great courses out there such as Codecademy & Teamtreehouse provide great practical skills such as how variable, loop, functions works.

However, even after you finished the course that you took in high-level languages, how a computer fundamentally works may still be a magical things for you. In this article, I highly suggest that every programmer who just started put down whatever project you are currently working on and start go through Harvard CS50!

So what's on Harvard CS50?

Harvard CS50 ( 2017 ) is a 12-weeks course that will guide you through from how Binary such as zero & one works, and move up to low-level language as in C programming that covers basics of *Function, Variable, Loop and how it store the data into RAM. Lastly it covers High-level language such as Python, JavaScript, SQL. In addition, this course also teaches the types of Algorithms, how Data Structure & HTTP Protocol works, and what is Dynamics Programming.
