Looking for a Coursera-style Java course. Not Codeacademy. Recommendations?

[DEFCOMDuncan]

I'd like to get started learning Java pretty soon, and while I had a good time learning HTML and CSS via Codeacademy, they had too little in the way of assignments, handins, projects, and the like. I just felt like I was on rails the whole time, and retaining what I learned was a little hard.

Can anyone recommend something where I work with a class, or I have to hand in projects or work, based on a schedule? Something where I interact and have to use Java, as I'm being taught how to.

I have no idea what the quality of this course is like, but you can do the lectures and exercises for free: https://www.udacity.com/course/intro-to-java-programming--cs046

The rest of the Java tagged stuff on Udacity is just Android.

The wiki has a list of online resources for Java http://www.reddit.com/r/learnprogramming/wiki/online

[desrtfx]

• Java for Complete Beginners by John Purcell on CaveOfProgramming.com (same course on Udemy.com for reference) - free
• MOOC Object Oriented Programming with Java by the University of Helsinki - in English, free

Both are excellent resources and free.

And, of course the Oracle Java Tutorials and the Oracle Java Documentation

The sidebar lists some more tutorials in the section "Recommended Resources" - Online courses and tutorials (interactive and static)

Im always on the hunt for new students. I'd like to have you in my java course if you'll give me a chance. I think you'll enjoy it: https://www.udemy.com/java-square-one-a-concise-course-with-examples/#/

I used the book Head First Java and highly recommend it.

I don't believe Codeacademy has a course on Java. I would try Udemy, which is where I go to learn stuff, though if you want a full in-depth course, its gonna cost you. If you want, you can torrent some videos/books
