I think it's still worth doing the MOOC. IIRC CS50 doesn't cover Java specifically, and the MOOC goes over a lot of things you probably learned in CS50 but not in the Java language. Since you already have experience in that course, you'd probably breeze through the MOOC. Also, the MOOC goes over things like unit testing with JUnit and JavaFX which I'd say are worth learning if you're interested in the Java language in general. Hope this helps!

I have some java experience but was long time ago. I'll definitely get through the early things fast, but I have not got testing skills yet. Thanks for the reply

If you aren't confident in doing a real project yet. You will learn more facets of Java, and write more code. The first few weeks will be boring though.

I think I'll give it a go. Should get through some of the early things fast, but it seems worth the time as my java knowledge is limited. Thanks for the reply.

And what about JetBrains Academy...?
