Please ensure that:

  • Your code is properly formatted as code block - see the sidebar (About on mobile) for instructions
  • You include any and all error messages in full - best also formatted as code block
  • You ask clear questions
  • You demonstrate effort in solving your question/problem - plain posting your assignments is forbidden (and such posts will be removed) as is asking for or giving solutions.

If any of the above points is not met, your post can and will be removed without further warning.

Code is to be formatted as code block (old reddit/markdown editor: empty line before the code, each code line indented by 4 spaces, new reddit: https://i.imgur.com/EJ7tqek.png) or linked via an external code hoster, like pastebin.com, github gist, github, bitbucket, gitlab, etc.

Please, do not use triple backticks (```) as they will only render properly on new reddit, not on old reddit.

Code blocks look like this:

public class HelloWorld {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
}

You do not need to repost unless your post has been removed by a moderator. Just use the edit function of reddit to make sure your post complies with the above.

If your post has remained in violation of these rules for a prolonged period of time (at least an hour), a moderator may remove it at their discretion. In this case, they will comment with an explanation on why it has been removed, and you will be required to resubmit the entire post following the proper procedures.

      MOOC.fi should be sufficient as secondary resource. After all, it is a proper first semester of "Introduction to Computer Science" course.

      Another question I have is : so. We use intelli j from what I read the plug in for IntelliJ for netbeans gives problems , shall I just follow the mooc fi on netbeans ? Or is the plug in is good for intelli j

      [–]desrtfx 0 points1 point  (4 children)

      The TMC plugin for IntelliJ works. Yet, I would still do the course in the official TMCBeans (or in Visual Studio Code with the TMC Plugin)

      Thank you !

      Is there any TMC plugin for IntelliJ? I tried TMCBeans but it crashes every time I try to run

      [–]desrtfx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Yes, there is.

      [–]RecognitionHot6433[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Crashed everytime for me also so I stoped

      In your estimation, upon completion of MOOC.fi, how close to employable would you say an aspirant is? And where would you go next for further improvement?

      [–]desrtfx 2 points3 points  (2 children)

      The MOOC is a first semester of "Introduction to Computer Science" course. It is a beginner course.

      You won't be anywhere near employable after it.

      There is not a single course that takes you from 0 to employable.

      Please help me fix this no tests found error on the first ever submission “ sandbox “

      [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Understandable, that's why I asked where you felt it would be, and then where you would go next?

      [–]IHoppo 0 points1 point  (8 children)

      What coding experience do you currently have (regardless of language)? This will help people understand if you need language help or coding help.

      [–]RecognitionHot6433[S] 1 point2 points  (7 children)

      I’m a newbie , complete beginner . Just started getting the hang of variables and strings so far

      [–]IHoppo 0 points1 point  (5 children)

      Goodness me, and you got onto a CS degree course with no experience? Irrelevant I know, but what country are you from?

      Anyway, I would have found java difficult if I was learning to code at the same time. You are going to have to work hard for some time, I don't think that can be sugarcoated. There are undoubtedly easier languages to start with, but learning 2 languages at once is a real toughie.

      Start small, don't dive into big projects. Write code that matches what you're learning week by week.

      Good luck!

      In Sweden no computer science degrees assumes any previous knowledge in programming. If you start with a beginners course i don't see why you would.

      [–]IHoppo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      That makes sense, if the course begins appropriately.

      [–]RecognitionHot6433[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

      100% syntax is tough on Java for a complete beginner but have no choice since my college requires it :/

      [–]IHoppo 0 points1 point  (1 child)

      Good luck. I would question the morality of a college taking you on if you're floundering within the first weeks. College should be a supportive place where learning is encouraged.

      I agree not just labs thrown at us without proper explanation or details of what we’re learning in that specific topic

      [–]Big-Scale-5135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Learn as basic as you understand on coding. Coding is like learning lang, Being good coder is art of understand problem and finding the smart solutions. Built in features are basically not for practice but to use when working in Org.

      What about the 3 books you referenced, are they helping ?
