While scrolling through Twitter, I saw some posts that highlighted some free IT courses and resources being offered by Harvard University! Harvard University offers a wide range of IT courses that are available to the public for free! Here are some of them!
1. Introduction to Computer Science - LINK
An introduction to the intellectual enterprises of computer science and the art of programming.
2. Web Programming with Python and JavaScript - LINK
This course dives more deeply into the design and implementation of web apps with Python, JavaScript, and SQL using frameworks like Django, React, and Bootstrap.
3. Mobile App Development with React Native - LINK
Learn about mobile app development with React Native, a popular framework maintained by Facebook that enables cross-platform native apps using JavaScript without Java or Swift.
4. Introduction to Game Development - LINK
Learn about the development of 2D and 3D interactive games in this hands-on course, as you explore the design of games such as Super Mario Bros., Pokémon, Angry Birds, and more.
5. Introduction to Artificial Intelligence with Python - LINK
Learn to use machine learning in Python in this introductory course on artificial intelligence.
Hope this helps someone and do check them out! 💻👍🏾💗
Leo, what has been your favorite “to-the-death” activity thus far? I feel there has to be a workshop-to-the-death somewhere in that hotel.
LEO: I think maybe Magnus was right about talking about the past… I’m not sure I’m ready to do that yet, but thinking about it and doing things that remind me of my old life, it feels like progress.
prev ask (also about activities!)
Did you know, you can take a Harvard computer science class...for free?
CS50x is a free online introduction to computer science course, featuring recorded lectures of an actual Harvard class, along with all the assignments, access to a cloud-based development environment, and supplemental material to help you. This is all completely free, and all at your own pace.
Now, the only catch is if you want a "verified certificate" of your completion of the course, it will cost about $150. You will still receive a digital certificate, but the verified certificate has an extra layer of authenticity, if you plan on using it professionally. Whether that's necessary, your mileage may vary. But all in all, still a relatively cheap price, and you can upgrade at any time.
I can't think of any resource for learning computer science and programming better than this. Even if you struggle with the concepts, there are many other people and resources around the internet to help you with this class specifically. If you've never written a line of code, or how computers work is a complete mystery to you, this class is still for you. Seriously, give it a try.
why do i, an english/theatre major have to take calculus??? I WILL GENUINELY NEVER USE THAT. THIS IS SO HOMOPHOBIC. THIS IS GOING TO MAKE ME LOSE MY 4.0 I CAN FEEL IT.
every day this week i have gone to set up my classroom and somehow that involves spending way more time there than i thought (9am - 6pm) and also an average of $250 a day
🚀 Machine Learning is revolutionizing how we analyze and interpret biological data. 💡
⚡ As Machine Learning continues to evolve, its integration with biological sciences promises to accelerate discoveries and lead to breakthroughs in health, medicine, and biotechnology.
🎯 Biological data comes in many forms: DNA sequences, protein interactions, metabolic pathways, and more. Machine Learning models can handle these vast datasets, identifying relationships and patterns that help scientists understand the underlying biology.
⭐ Machine Learning isn’t just a tool—it’s the future of biological discovery. The possibilities are limitless! 🚀
Want to learn how to analyze biological big data using machine learning?

I was thinking about Udemy because I haven't visited the site in months. When I logged back in, I noticed a new feature called "Personal Plan" on the homepage. As a web developer, I naturally clicked on the corresponding section and found something interesting~!!!
You can have access to all the listed courses and more for only £15 per month - however it is billed yearly (I hate when they do that...)! I thought, "Oh, that's great!" But, since I'm currently not employed and not earning any income, I don't think I'll enroll just yet. Hopefully, I'll be able to do it in the future!
There are other sections too like Data Science and Ethical Hacking, and even non-tech subjects too!

Obs: the int in weight I concert, but I want to sharing my erros, so it's ok.
THE SOLUTION
Yesterday I slept studying, so I put aside posting (the tumblr algorithm doesn't like this, but sometimes it will happen UHEUE)
When I bought the course, I thought. I'm going to spell it out there, Do several days of the course in one day
Reality: I like it, but at the same time I'm so bad at it UHEHUEHUEU
A part of me didn't want to share this here, show my mistakes (my vulnerability).
But neither I nor you reading this were born knowing things, I'm learning, so obviously I need to fail to improve and I hate the culture of productivity/toxic perfection.
Previously I just did the conversion from portugol to python.
It wasn't really a theory + documentation, but observation.
As I understood by observing that the Leia command in Portugol was Input to store data in variables in Python.
So it's been a good learning experience.
I would like to highlight things that I understood that I have to improve, be more attentive:
+There were times when I got lost with it doing a lot of variables and mainly using functions (in my logic exercises I didn't use much or none of the two, so I learned to deal / understand how to use it)
+ If you've read past posts, you know that I have anxiety and today I understood that it was bothering me and I wasn't even noticing. My mind was so eager to do the exercise and try it right away that I didn't pay attention to what the exercise was asking of me.
And for me when it comes to programming/problem solving you must first use rationality and not emotion.
So I started to write what was asked, I reflected and then I started to code. It will be something that I will have to develop more, even more so in a work environment. But being aware and trying to improve helps.
+I have to improve (AND A LOT) my logic of creating variables, I felt so ashamed of myself. UHEUHEUHEUEE
+ That when you are a beginner, any opportunity to practice logic should be taken advantage of.
As I explained, I did more of a conversion of my Portugol exercises than really their logic (after all, I had already done that) So now, I will always dedicate myself to thinking about each step to be taken in the construction of the algorithm.
Well, that's it for now.
I wish you are managing to deal with your studies and that you are well, drink water.
Advantages of Computer Science and Coding in Schools
Incorporating coding and computer science classes for class 6 into school curriculum is a great way, and this write up explores eight key advantages that this will provide.
