this course is 9 years old as of now but i think most of the content is still relevant.. about the course, i loves the approach of this course as it is theory + practical so its absolute you will learn it!!

One of the most challenging, but yet fulfilling programming courses I've taken so far. Thank you to the team for all your work in putting this course together. Inputs in discussion forums were a great help.

Excellent course...Lets you hold your interest till end...Exellent project resources...It's my 1st course in the specialization and my dream is to complete them all...Thank You Professors and Coursera Team!

A wonederful course, with high quality contents. Learning throw real life problems makes the course interesting and engaging. congrat for all contributor in this work, especially, the four nice teachers. :)

Like the first course of this specialization this course is really great! The explanations are simple and precise. And the programming assignments are really exciting! Perfect to start your journey in Java.

Coming from a background in Python, I took this course so I wouldn't miss out on some of the more basic aspects of Java. It coveres the basics really well as well as some basic programming fundamentals.

Absolutely fantastic! I learned plenty. Nothing taught in this course was too difficult to learn. The quizzes are challenging, but manageable. This is a wonderful course and a wonderful specialization.

Excellent introduction to Java.

A little heads up if you're taking the course:

Answers need to be truncated to x decimal places in quizzes, not rounded. (Instructors please clarify this in all quizzes!)

This course helps to develop strong problem solving skills which is an essential tool in the your journey to becoming a Java programmer. i would recomment this course to any newbie learning JAVA

Excellent course. Teachers explain the topics in detail. The Java programming language is used to solve real-life problems. Thanks for teaching the 7 steps necessary to solve everyday problems!

The course does an excellent job of balancing theory with practical applications, which helped solidify my understanding of key concepts like loops, functions, and object-oriented programming.

Extremely helping and well designed courxe for the beginners who are planning to start there journey into java , all the topic are explained properly with uttermost efforts.

Helped me a lot !!

That's really terrific time to spend on such precious acquisition, i adore the entire session which waded through this journey.

Thanks to all the faculty member for such incredible sharing.

Being new to programming, this course was challenging, but it was well designed course and helped me with reasoning and gaining confidence with handling Methods and Loops and conditionals.

Excellent course as the Instructors teach building algorithm and then coding it line by line. I highly recommend taking this course as it helps you moving one step ahead in learning Java.

Really enjoyed this course. Learned a lot. Only pulled my hair out in a few sections. I feel more confident in my coding and the understanding of how the programs created read the code.

Really great course! it is my first time to learn Java, though there are so many assignments, I do enjoy the course. Thanks a lot to professors and assistants involved in these courses.

An amazing course for absolute beginners. Hats off to all the professors and the Coursera team for giving me this wonderful opportunity to study Java. The "Java Cookies" were amazing !!

Very interesting but only requires careful reading of questions and application to the code.

Was thinking user interfaces would have worked better than changing code manually/ by hand

Great course, absolutely; instructors know what they are talking about, and more over offer to students excellent tools to learn, process and apply the concepts covered in this class.

This course was really satisfactory and the instructors of this course were really awesome in their way of teaching and their way of making the concept understandable to the viewers

The exercises in the course were challenging and comprehensive.

It is important to complete all of the programming exercises and the honor section of the course for maximum benefit.

Very complete course, it's hard and requires lots of work, especially if you are a beginner. After this course you definitely will have a better understanding on Java Programming.

Beautiful stuff. the instructors approach to teach and immediately applying the knowledge is as good as it gets. I recommend this to any beginner or intermediate level programmer.

Great course for beginners to boost their confidence in programming. It also teaches you how to read documentation of external libraries.

Thank you Duke University for this course.
