Great into to Java, instructors have clearly put thought in to the format with the choose your own learning style videos, and additional coverage where it may be needed. These have been very helpful.

I loved this course! The course videos and the projects sharpened my idea about some of the toughest concepts of Java and OOP. I recommend this course to anyone interested in learning OOP in Java. ☺

While the material is relevant, the exercises required too much specific knowledge that was not discussed in lecture. For an experienced programmer, most of the exercises were easy, but I admit I had to look ahead on two of the projects because the instructions were too lacking. The final project was too open ended and made me not want to finish this course.
Overall, I would not recommend this course.

The course is laid out well, better than the ones from Duke, but the tech used is very outdated. They talk about applets and use Eclipse. Very disappointing because the project looked cool. Lost another star for having a mandatory peer reviewed assignment. No one does these and no one grades them. Your certificate is held hostage for months until someone grades you.

The program is severely outdated. Most GUI-based learnings and code are depreciated and extremely difficult to set up on modern machines. While the problems and methods discussed are good and definitely challenging, in my opinion, the course doesn't delve deep enough into inheritance and other OOP-related concepts.

You're using applets for course projects and it was EOL long ago including java 6 and java 8. All modern IDEs (Intellij, Eclipse, etc) either got rid of all applet plugins or keep crashing whenever you try to launch something. Please update your course projects to use latest tech stacks

The Java content is fine, but the tools required are out of date which make it frustrating to complete the course. The packages are too old to run in modern IDEs and finding the right combination of outdated technologies to use was frustrating.

Would have been great seven years ago...but the course requires you to use Java Applets, which are discontinued with good reason. This means running Java 8, which can create numerous further errors for most editors.

If you think this is an introduction to Java programming language you are wrong.What do you want? Do you want teach us to use Processing or teach us to program in Java?

This course is very hard to follow, you are not building the program from scratch. But instead they force you to learn Processing module independently by yourself

They taught the outdated module (i.e)PApplet which is included till java8 version ,from later version that module was not included in java software(like java12).

Almost useless course. The lessons have nothing in connection to assignments. Waste of time.

You are teaching with java JDK 8, which is completely obsolete and out of date.

Useless course as well as specialization as it is an outdated course most of the things taught are deprecated and also no proper support is provided.

Most of the videos and software in this course are outdated so it is very difficult to get older versions of applet to work

Outdated material, horrible IDE setup. Took longer debugging their libraries than debugging my own code
