Thinking about your EC classes?  Always wanted to learn how to code?  Well, a few ECs this year have done it, and so can you.

Come learn about Computer Science 50, Introduction to Computer Science, a very popular Harvard College course taught by Prof. Malan. Prof. Malan as well as ECs who took the course will be sharing their experience and answering your questions. Please see below for a description of the course:

Introduction to the intellectual enterprises of computer science and the art of programming. This course teaches students how to think algorithmically and solve problems efficiently. Topics include abstraction, algorithms, encapsulation, data structures, databases, memory management, security, software development, virtualization, and websites. Languages include C, PHP, and JavaScript plus SQL, CSS, and HTML. Problem sets inspired by real-world domains of biology, cryptography, finance, forensics, and gaming. Designed for concentrators and non-concentrators alike, with or without prior programming experience.
