Fun course, well-designed curriculum. Imaginative, real-world inspired assignments with just the right level of guidance. The instructors are skilled and personable.

This is my second Duke course, i'll take them all they are great. And i like the feel when i finish it. I'm still a student, i finish one course every two weeks.

Codebreaking made the homework quite engaging, and the lectures and coursework made sense. Week3 is a little heavier than the other weeks, so bear than in mind!

I'm short of words, it was just awesome!!! Nice course materials and explanations. I particularly loved the programming experience, it was just FUN!!!

Very interesting course with with plenty of really good assignments. Not so complicated, but still very useful for everyone, who starts learning Java

Thanks for the great course. But it would be very usefull to specify some of time the student spend studying to pass the course in the certification.

Very nice course for beginning java learner, specific the seven steps to design a program. I would study these over and over in the future. Cheers!

Very good material, congratulation for all involved in this great masterpiece. Thanks very very much for the knowledge, i'm very proud of you all.

It's great,especially the mini-project and it is quite a complex problem, it is well planned so that we can reach the solution step by step.

This course was fantastic. A great overview of data structures in java and excellent assignments that allow you to utilize your knowledge

Great class. Really enjoyed it. The guided lessons were just challenging enough for someone who has very limited programming knowledge.

At the end of the course noticed that I can write the code almost without thinking ... I was pleasantly surprised, thanks to the mentors

I loved the you teaches us.

I loved the the step by step way to write the code.

Loved everything.

Sanuj, with lots of love from India!!

Even if Java language isn't the most "beautiful" one nowadays, it still the base if you want to understand some programs nowadays.

Applying JAVA to the problems of (ancient) cryptography. Very entertaining application examples with lots of hands-on experience.

Very challenging. For absolute beginners maybe a little bit hard. Above all, you also get some programming experience in Java.

Excellent tutorials and very challenging problem sets! I would highly recommend this course for anyone looking to learn Java!

As always, very thorough and helpful (learning by doing "countless" tasks is a great way to go, from my perspective). Thanks!

I'm happy that coursera has such a great courses like this one. So far I know that I'm on a good way to become a programist.

Its good way to master in programming because in this course explain more and practically so its more useful to understand.

I thought the examples and problems worked in the course really helped me towards getting a better understanding of Java.

Great course. Was not easy for me.

Requires lots of work. Everything is structured very logically here and it helps a lot.

Awesome course. Got deep understanding Java HashMap and HashSet classes. But the contents over ciphers should be updated.

Another great course! It gets gradually difficult but not too difficult and the projects are great! I totally recommend!

Great java practice. If you dedicate yourself to complete all the exercises, you will become a java programming machine
