edX student here!

I am under the assumption that if I was to take cs50 at Harvard, my code would be marked for style, succinctness and flexibility as well as its ability to return proper responses. Whether or not this is true, as a programmer walking back through the basics how can I know if my code is efficient in these ways? In other words, how can I know if there was a better, possibly faster method for computation?

Side note: I love the course, its availability and its interactive grading. Not trying to bash y'all for something those of us do it for free maybe don't get. I am a radio astronomer utilising huge data sets and speed is a problem.

Edit: spelling mistake, got a little too excited

Any hints for dates of the hackathons? I really want to attend one!

Okay, no worries thanks anyway! Ill be watching the internets with intent!

Thanks for the response rob! I forgot about style50, I'll make sure to run it from now on.

Cant wait to see those post-mortems! Keep up the good work!
