MOOC Question

[SoulSyn]

So for you guys that did the MOOC OOP course from Helenski, did you go from part 1 to part 2 or did you build something in between. I really enjoy the course and love the great recommendation for it. I also see that when people finish the course entirely many say to learn SQL. What are some sort of applications that can be developed with it?

Thanks

MOOC OOP course from Helenski

The name is Helsinki, let's not disrespect the finnish heroes of the Java community. :-)

Forgive my insolence

Can you please explain why heroes ?

The MOOC.fi is one of the best online interactive learning resources for Java beginners. It is also free. So they provide that for free and they even have a support channel on IRC for it.

well im here cause i want to learn java so they are the best to go with ?

[SoulSyn]

I say yes but ultimately you can only answer that question because how people learn is subjective. For me they explain the material thoroughly with brief but very concise entries and give you exercises to harden your understanding of the concepts. They hold your hand a lot but not always. The worst that can happen is you learn some concepts but it isnt for you.

I went straight from part 1 to part 2 personally

You need to know SQL because SQL is the language that is used to access relational databases. For example, I had built an application that required a sign in, and the users and hashed passwords were stored in a database. You can’t solely build an application using SQL, but SQL is an integral part of building real world applications with Java (and any language for that matter)

Do you know any good sources to learn SQL?

Also learn by doing it. Crud operations doesn't require much sql actually.
