Java Programming

Way too much emphasis on BlueJ and Duke University specific libraries.

This is really great course, and very hard to crack some problem anyway Thanks All Dear Instructors, Duke University and Coursera Team I like the mentors in the forum.

motivent et il permet de réfléchir Too hard Is noice Great course with informative content.Thanks Duke University for this course and thanks coursera for the ease of studying Excellent content and resources.

I would like to thank to Duke university and Coursera.

Thanks to the Duke University team.

Thank you Duke University.

I'm deeply thankful to Coursera and Duke University Professors, who have devoted significant time and resources in creating this awesome content.

Thank Duke University so much.

Great course for a low price but the contents of the course can be improved by giving more examples as the software we used here is a bit duke university software.

I am surprised that I had to use duke university libraries which gave me a bit of discomfort since I was used to the open source libraries.

I had been out of programming for many years, and decided to try this Java Programming: Solving Problems with Software course by Duke University on Coursera.org.

I enjoyed the way Duke University uses the 7 step process for solving problems consistently through the course.

Great introduction to Java, the BlueJ environment makes it much easier to pick up the language with a smaller feature set.

Excellent introduction to JAVA.

Very nice introduction to Java.

Overall, this course was a decent introduction to Java and many related concepts.

Great assignments and lectures superb Excellent introduction to Java programming for those that already have a little bit of experience programming in a different programming language.

NOT FOR BEGINNERS AT ALL need more tips for quiz of week 2 excellent learning Good introduction to Java programming, instructor videos were informative and the quizzes and tests were challenging and interesting.I was familiar was the Java syntax before taking this course, I think a complete beginner might have to do a little bit of extra online research to clarify some concepts.

I highly recommend taking this class for anyone who wants to get a quick start in java or refresh it after a long time off.

Highly recommend!

Highly recommended.

Highly recommend! )

I highly recommend taking this course as it helps you moving one step ahead in learning Java.

I highly recommend it.

Of course using BlueJ and EduDuke libraries (that is libraries crafted specifically for the course that are nor used in real life) gives this feeling of not coding for real.

Teachers start with simple concepts and eventually solve real life problems, which sound very complex otherwise.

Lecturers themselves have a very vague understanding of how java works and how to code in real life.

Real life applications of projects and assignments WEEK 2 was not very clearly Hope can have some improvements.

I liked that they use real life examples to introduce you to a subject.

But it was refreshing to do a Java course that didn't focus on the usual syntax and semantics but looked at real life examples.

The first week class was just super confusing without knowing the basic concept like vairable type declearation and the connection between different methods.

The first week was ok , but we didn't spend much time coding.

Could not get through the first week.

Very good course taking into consideration the first week Great course!

I just think the learning curve is kind of steep in the first week.

The first week was a bit rough, learning curve was way too steep.

It is a very good course, with great examples and great instructions, except I think in the first week of the syllabus.

I was able to learn to solve real world problems with Java programing AAAAMAYZING It's a great course .

I think this one the best a beginner can start learning the programming languages and how use them in real world problems A very good course , a great effort by the team at Duke , Thankyou!

I really liked the course mainly due to providing a clear vision to all sub tasks needed to solve before and during programme development; I liked very much that the solution is started with problem statement and analysing; this helps to set good practice to problem solving and decision making: before digging into implementation one must understand the task; analyse it and get what is involved and needed to say the job is done and then find a solution, implement it and check that implemented solution does what it was intended to do; thank you very much for clarifying it In general a well made course.

The exercises are wonderful at introducing basic problem solving skills by way of highly relevant real world examples.

Especially, seven steps of problem solving is very useful.

This course was awesome and helped me a lot to build my programming skills as well as problem solving skills.

I'm already have a programming job and this course helped to solidify problem solving skills.

great practical course Can be a little bit to hard for beginners but great and interesting assignments.

Great course for complete beginners and intermediates alike, some problems do take a little bit of though for even advanced programmers.

The Assignment explanations are little bit tricky.

It would be better if questions in discussion forums can be replied more timely.

A bit higher than the beginner level but the discussion forums helped me get through.

Very difficult beginner course but possible with all the discussion forums and such but will require hours and hours of practice and time.

Moreover, I posted 4-5 threads on discussion forum and I never received even a single reply.

If i have paid for this course I would expect to get my doubts cleared but the mentors and even the peers don't respond to discussion forum.

I pointed that out in discussion forum but no one responded.

I also liked the problems in the excercises, because they are not so detailed so lot of own search is needed, BUT the use of their own libraries make this harder because those are also not widely used in the real world.What I didn't like is their BlueJ environment, because its much harder to use than Eclipse or Netbeans and even not worth the get experience with because in the real world it just doesn't exists.

The instructors at Duke have created their own java library, with classes to help new learners easily open and close files in the BlueJ environment, and work with Pixels in an image.

Well designed course Great course for beginners fantastic Very Intensive course and well tutored i really recommend this for those who are looking to develop their skills on JAVA it is indeed helpful Thanks a lot for amount of time and patience you guys put to make this course available and I have to say I love your style.

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 content the assignments were well designed to help me learn a lot.
