Announcements and Demos

  • This was CS50.

  • Recall what we said at the beginning of the course:

    what ultimately matters in this course is not so much where you end up relative to your classmates but where you, in Week 12, end up relative to yourself in Week 0

  • 73% of you had no prior CS experience before joining this course! Congratulations on no longer being part of "those less comfortable" if you once were!

  • Can you guess what the significance of the following numbers from Quiz 1 is?
