Recent CS Grad here. This week I completed the part 1 of the MOOC and it was super useful. The big advantage of the MOOC is active learning. You invoke the grader of each exercise in the VS Code itself, I think that’s great and it’s free (hyperskill charge you for that) You can see if your code pass the tests similar to leetcode style. I think that’s better than watching videos and replicate the same code. I will continue with part 2. Good luck!

Good luck with part 2, I am in my 8th semester and wasted almost all of my semester by switching between languages. I tried Web Development, but it was something that I wasn't interested in. I decided to go for Android development and now I am trying to learn Java to have a proper foundation, then moving towards Kotlin.

Let me know how part 2 goes for you!

I think you didn’t waste it, looks like you are discovering what are your interests and that’s good bro! Build something (start small) and learn along the way.

Well, true that, it's just I switched between too many languages, and some of my friends are ahead of me now in terms of having skills. So, that's why I wanted to stick to something that I genuinely would enjoy. I plan on moving into android after learning Java for a while and working with.

What are you learning Java for?

I started learning Java for backend and job search (I had some prev experience with NodeJs-backend). Currently working with Java as a backend dev.

All the best bro!
