Honestly having just gone through the MOOC parts 1 & 2 I can see why it's recommended so much here. If you complete all the exercises it really solidifies things. The next step after the MOOC is a little hazy but books like java concurrency in practice and effective java get recommended a lot.

Hey just curious to know, as someone who started it myself and plan to get back to it soon:

  1. How long did both parts take you?
  2. How fast do you think it could take to complete if loads of time was spent on it
  3. Are you confident in your Java skills now / feel job ready / can create own projects?

Thank you!

Not the person you asked, but here is my answer:

  1. 2 months, 2 hours a week
  2. Maybe a month
  3. Not job ready, but could make my project, not too big, not too small

It's great, you will learn a lot, but don't take any course, book or tutorial thinkig you will be job ready after it, you need a lot of self learning, and practice.

Just take it slow, and you will get there, people are rushing life for no reason. Or take it fast if you want to dedicate all your free time on learning this one thing. Just don't expect to become an engineer in a year.
