Comment on Tell HN: UC Berkeley's CS61A/B/C are the best courses to learn CS and codingComments−flappyeagle3yI learned nothing in 61A — because I was a dumbass kid and didn’t take it seriously.61B made me feel like I knew how to program.61C taught me how computers work.A decade or so later 61A is actually the most useful of the 3 courses now that I’m mid career.I might recommend that you take 61b first before the other 2 if you’re just starting out−golly_ned3yAgreed on 61A. I took it when it was still just SICP in scheme. I saw much of the rest of the curriculum as a variation on the themes I learned in 61A.
