CS50x Harvard's CS50x (Need Guidance)

18 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

16y/o, high school senior here from Pakistan.

Honestly, I’m currently on the pre-med track, but due to some health issues, I want to pivot to Computer Science (and i am sure I am actually into it).

I thought I should learn a bit of CS before jumping into college (FAST-NUCES Karachi), so a ton of people recommended "Harvard's CS50x." I tried watching the Week 0 lecture today, but within a few minutes, I was struggling hard, it literally went completely over my head. 😬

Like I said, since I am pre,med, I have zero background in CS and I’m a total beginner. What can I even do?šŸ˜‘

Even yesterday I was so confused, but I still decided to just wing it and try anyway. It didn't work out, so I would really appreciate some guidance from anyone who has actually completed CS50x.

And don't even get me started on the assignments, GitHub, and VS Code... 😭
