CS50x is Harvard's course that gives students an 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, data structures, encapsulation, resource management, security, software engineering, and web programming. Languages include C, Python, and SQL plus HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Problem sets required by the course are inspired by the arts, humanities, social sciences, and sciences, and the course culminates in a final project. To complete this course and receive a certificate, students must submit and pass ten problem sets, ten labs, and one final project. Tests are automated.

CS50w is Harvard's advanced course that picks up where CS50x leaves off, diving more deeply into the design and implementation of web apps with Python, JavaScript, and SQL using frameworks like Django, React, and Bootstrap. Topics include database design, scalability, security, and user experience. Through hands-on projects, students learn to write and use APIs, create interactive UIs, and leverage cloud services like GitHub. By semester’s end, students emerge with knowledge and experience in principles, languages, and tools that empower them to design and deploy applications on the Internet. Taking this course requires previous programming knowledge and experience (i.e. at least passing CS50x). To complete this course and receive a certificate, students must submit and pass a total of six projects and one final project, which are graded by humans employed by Harvard and CS50.
