All materials for this course are clear and concise. Aspects of Java programming were explained clearly in the video lectures. But if things needed a bit of extra clarity or I needed to refresh my memory on something the online materials were there for review. Programming assignments were explained well and reflected the material being taught. The automated grader gives good explanation of what is wrong with your code so you can make corrections and resubmit. I am planning on taking the second half of this coarse next.

For a newbie in programming, this course is highly recommended. It helped me to think in diverse ways. Having noticed java's rigidity compared to popular programming languages, i have been able to start with a disciplined approach by taking this course. I see things around me in a totally different manner during and after this course. It is also a pleasure having professor Sedgwick who smiles in his videos telling you its simple, I'm always like, professor, hope you know you got baby programmers in the class :)

A very demanding course, at least for me who did not know anything about Java and OOP, the weekly exercises are key in the process of learning and the Discussion Forum is very helpful to be able to pass the exercises. I have taken other courses in Coursera but definitely this is the best one on this subject honoring the fact that is taught by Princeton, where once I dreamed to make a PhD. Thanks to the University, the instructors and Coursera, I plan to take the next one that is recommended in the last lecture.

This is my first course on Coursera and this course is EXCELLENT. I started learning java in late 2019 and this course will make you a more sharp java programmer. If you do more then the assignments i.e. the web exercises and also using the book as ac companion with this course you will be facing challenging problems that bring joy if you managed to solve them.

Thank you Princeton University for making this course free and also for the grate Prof. Sedgwick and Wayne for building this course.

This course was incredibly helpful. I've taught myself Python over the years for data analysis purposes, but I never had a solid understanding of computer science principles like you learn in this course. Learning Java along the way was a nice bonus, and it was helpful to compare and understand differences across different languages. The projects were of an appropriate difficulty, and I would strongly recommend completing them so that you can practice what you learn.

Fantastic course! What a great resource that is provided for free. A tremendous contribution to furthering the knowledge of this world for the next generation of programmers. The authors and creators of this course have my deepest appreciation and commendations. I went through this course with my son and we thoroughly enjoyed the learning experience. Its been 18 years since I was last certified in Java 2, this was a great refresher. Thank you again!

I think the course has a great balance between introducing concept/history and practical matters. The only difficulty I encountered is that it is sometimes assumed that the students have certain knowledge (I personally spent a lot more time on w6 Recursion than other weeks because I found some concepts/knowledge unfamiliar). Overall it's a great learning experience that gives learners exposure to a variety of aspects of programming.

Well taught course, with minimal spoon feeding once it gets moving. I would like more baby steps through the initial Intellij install, as it was aggravating before I saw the value of the course. Being reminded early on that we all make mistakes (forgetting ; and the like) and that unfortunately compilers don't work because we yell at them helped me deal with the inevitable frustrations that come about during programming.

This course is the best. Big thanks to instructors. You can complete the course even if you never had similar course (in Computer science). The knowledge you get is high quality. Assignemtns are the most important in this course (as in any other course) and they are outstanding - especially the autograder that checks your work in detail and in detail reports your mistakes. It took me more time than ~ 9 h per week.

Definitely, this was the best course I've ever taken including my BSc and MSc education until now. Each assignment within this course is provided with the fields that they are most commonly used. I can not point out a single issue that was unnecessary within the scope of the course. I would like to thank Robert Sedgewick and Kevin Wayne for providing such a beautiful course with such a beautiful content.

Another superior course from Princeton's CS team of Sedgewick and Wayne. The programming exercises are challenging at an appropriate level and as usual, a generous booksite also supports the course with enough ancillary material to satisfy the ambitions of the most diligent beginning students. This is a course for new learners with a computer science bent and builds from the ground to a satisfying level.

What an amazing course. Lot's of material to help you learn. Lot's of exercises to experiment with . I am glad I took this course out of mere curiosity. I wanted to understand the JavaScipt programming Language and now I do have the basic part of JavaScript language down to add to my repertoire of other language skills. Thank you Coursera and to the University of Princeton for making this possible.

Amazing course! It gives an opportunity to learn how to think about coding, how to approach real world problems and translate solutions into working programs in Java and other languages.

I sincerely enjoyed the course, especially video lectures and coding assignments, and plan to keep learning from professor Sedgewick and Kevin Wayne other courses on Cuorsera.

Thank you very much!

This course in such a phenomenal resource. Expertly designed and sequenced, it is appropriately rigorous while also being accessible to dedicated beginners. You will be challenged, and you will learn! The consistent linkages to the history of Computer Science were also excellent and provided context for learners. I cannot recommend this course highly enough!

Lectures are a master-piece. Anyone who wood like to see a perfection in presentation of complex phenomena with such a modesty, clarity, simplicity but in the same time reflecting with deepness, this is THE course. The richness of argumentation with expressions can serve as a communication worldwide programming guideline.

Stay healthy dear professor.

This course is an amazing introduction to programming. The learning curve is a bit steep and the assignments are challenging as I think they involved some commands beyond what was introduced in the lectures. My advice is to spend some time reading the book and the APIs included as they would be helpful to complete the assignments. Best success!

I learned more by completing this course in a week compared to what I learned in 4 months time in one semester at my University 's introduction to computer science course. The programming assignments kept me engaged and were very fun. I would definitely recommend this course 10/10 would love to take up a course like this all over again.

This was a great course. Super challenging and there were a lot of things that were not covered in the lectures and I had to learn on my own, but I actually really enjoyed that aspect. I went from knowing nothing about comp sci to being able to code some pretty cool projects. Really great class and so nice that it was free of charge!

This was an amazing course. The instructor demonstrates programs that can do incredible things yet are simple enough to fully understand from a ten minute lecture. The autograder is excellent and tells you exactly which failure modes your code has. The provided libraries make seemingly difficult tasks much simpler.

This Course is a perfect blend of Mathematics, Science and Programming. This course will definitely upskill you. Prof. Sedgewick's teaching style is very unique. Programming assignment will challenge you to think you out of the box. Overall absolutely amazing learning experience. Thanks to Princeton University.

Excellent course! I was almost new to Java and programming (learnt some Basic more than thirty years ago). The course is very well organized, all modules are interesting. Material is great and the exercises very challenging with references to multiple disciplines. Rewarding experience. Will go for part two.

A must do course. The best CS101 course. The program assignments need some scientific literacy, maybe a little bit difficult for people who just want to study programming for fun, without some scientific or mathematical literacy(high school level). However a perfect course for freshman student.

Lecture slides have been well structured to make a difficult topic easy to understand and learn. The presentation provides a good conceptual outlay and it does not overwhelm you. Needless to say that writing code is the difficult part in the course as it is part of the learning process.

Ilmu yang diberikan sangat bermanfaat dengan penggunaan bahasa pemrograman JAVA, dari penjelasan vidio yang cukup jelas dapat memahaminya dengan cepat, ditambah untuk mengetahui kemampuan atau mengukur kedalaman ilmu dapat ditinjau dengan kuis dan basic project activity yang diberikan

This course teaches the fundamentals of Java, as well as the advance levels, in an extremely easy and practical way. The lectures are great and the real-life examples on offer are just transfixing! This is a wonderful resource for me to learn Java as a student of computer science.
