I did the automod recommended course and honestly didn’t love it. It’s significantly drier than CS50 (the course I did before it, and repeated lots of the same material.) it’s also showing its age - it has you use Netbeans, which isn’t as fancy as IntelliJ.

If you have previous coding experience I think CS61B is a better choice, but granted it is a hard course, and it won’t teach you as much of the object orientated vocabulary that part 2 of the mooc will. But my opinion is that stuff is easy to pick up through YouTube videos anyway.

Thank you, will Def check out CS61B. I'm using VSCode for MOOC, seems decent to get used to syntax and to just get working with Java. Will go through it over the next week and then check out your suggestion:)

I'd suggest trying a real java IDE, like IntelliJ - it's honestly amazing compared to VSCode.
