For me it was CS50 Web Programming with Python and JavaScript taught by Brian Yu.

By background is non-technical and tried to learn web programming by reading books and watching YouTube videos. However, I failed multiple times because these sources lacked in depth or breadth or explained poorly.

In early 2022 I enrolled in CS50W through Edx. The course contained the right mix of depth and breadth, and the topics were very well explained: Brian is an amazing teacher. The course also included interesting projects that I had to implement. For example, building a Wiki, a small scoped Twitter clone, and finally a project of my own. I had so much fun learning! Since taking the course I built two web apps from spec to launch on my own.
