About this course: Learn to code in Java and improve your programming and problem-solving skills. You will learn to design algorithms as well as develop and debug programs. Using custom open-source classes, you will write programs that access and transform images, websites, and other types of data. At the end of the course you will build a program that determines the popularity of different baby names in the US over time by analyzing comma separated value (CSV) files. After completing this course you will be able to: 1. Edit, compile, and run a Java program; 2. Use conditionals and loops in a Java program; 3. Use Java API documentation in writing programs. 4. Debug a Java program using the scientific method; 5. Write a Java method to solve a specific problem; 6. Develop a set of test cases as part of developing a program; 7. Create a class with multiple methods that work together to solve a problem; and 8. Use divide-and-conquer design techniques for a program that uses multiple methods.
Who is this class for: No prior Java programming experience is necessary; however, before taking this course, you should have a basic understanding of the programming concepts (variables, functions, conditionals, and for loops) that you can learn in the first course of this specialization, “Programming Foundations with JavaScript, HTML and CSS,” or in another introductory programming course. In addition, this course relies heavily on a seven-step approach to writing programs, also taught in “Programming Foundations with JavaScript, HTML and CSS.” This is the second course of the Java Programming and Software Engineering Fundamentals Specialization, and provides the fundamentals of Java programming you will need to successfully complete the course series and the capstone project.

Great course, walk through several examples and let you work with some real tasks on your own. Learned a lot as a Java beginner.
The Course is really good but the difficulty of week 2 can be reduced to a little more towards beginner standards.
Excellent, for beginners to experts it is a fan and very educational course to try.

One of the best and hardest course. But worth the effort. each drop of "sweat" on this course was spot on.
The only drawback was the non availability of test cases and lack of mentors in the course. The test cases ar really important for an amateur programmer.
The first Java course had excellent moderators but this course unfortunately didnot.
