    About the Course

    How do Java programs deal with vast quantities of data? Many of the data structures and algorithms that work with introductory toy examples
    break when applications process real, large data sets. Efficiency is critical, but how do we achieve it, and how do we even measure it? This is
    an intermediate Java course. We recommend this course to learners who have previous experience in software development or a background
    in computer science, and in particular, we recommend that you have taken the first course in this specialization (which also requires some
    previous experience with Java). In this course, you will use and analyze data structures that are used in industry-level applic...

    Very solid review of data structures. In fact, I learned a lot of new things along the way like how to benchmark test Java code and how to properly use JUnit and other unit testing frameworks.

    A lot of very useful information. A perfect course for people familiar with the basics of java, and certainly a good continuation of the first course in the specialisation.
