Replace Harvard course recommendation with Learn GDScript from Zero

Browse Source 
This resource didn't exist back when the Harvard course was added
as a recommendation in 2020. It's much easier to follow
(shorter, uses less technical terms) and is arguably more motivating
for newcomers.

Godot relies on the object-oriented programming paradigm. Being comfortable with
concepts such as classes and objects will help you code efficiently in it.
If you are entirely new to programming, we recommend following the `CS50 open
courseware`_ from Harvard University. It's a great free course that will teach
you everything you need to know to be off to a good start. It will save you
countless hours and hurdles learning any game engine afterward.
.. note:: In CS50, you will learn multiple programming languages. Don't be
afraid of that: programming languages have many similarities. The
skills you learn with one language transfer well to others.
