CS50 is launching a new-and-improved course — CS50’s Introduction to 2D Game Development, or simply CS50 2D!
This course, previously known as CS50 Games, picks up where CS50x leaves off and lets you explore the design and mechanics of such childhood games as Pong, Flappy Bird, Breakout, Match 3, Super Mario Bros., Legend of Zelda, Angry Birds, and Pokémon in a quest to understand how video games more broadly are implemented.
The lectures will air on YouTube every day, starting on Tuesday, April 21, at 9am EDT. To take the course for a certificate, register at https://t.co/X2pcQ09dqH. And for now — a word of introduction from Professor @davidjmalan and CS50’s own Colton Ogden!

Today, many young Chinese use it to articulate the uncertainties they face — from post-graduation anxiety and the ups and downs of job hunting, to persistent doubts about their future direction. On lifestyle platform Xiaohongshu, also known as RedNote, the hashtag has already garnered 14.28 million views.

House of Huawei is the best book I've read in a long time.
It's not only a story about the rise of an incredibly powerful company.
