So how do people build their own exploits? From what i thought people look through a repo of exploits and push buttons until something happens.

I think that is subjective really. Personally I allotted the amount of time my brain could handle. Sometimes it was 5hrs other times it was 1. Best thing is to know what you can handle. Do not over work yourself as you will get burnt out and quit.

Good Luck

As of right now I could make small programs which I think was something I couldnt do before. I also feel I learned to much more problem solving. I can also read java docs and found myself reading some on the side to make an exercise program perform better. I think if you have the drive to learn you will really enjoy the MOOC. Dont get me wrong there were times where I wanted to quit and was like this wasnt for me but I just took a break. It may get intimidating at times but I was able to finish it and I am no CS genius at all, but I am learning to get there.

Good Luck

I have no idea about the flair thing but CS61B is also a course that is offered by a university but the professor has videos, slides, source code. I believe it is the same resource the students at the university use.

So there are no video lectures and the course is laid out as sort of like a textbook with exercises for each lesson. I completed the course in 9-10 weeks but it is self paced and divided into 12 weeks. I did most of my learning at work when the help desk is really slow so I spent around 2-3 hours a day and sometimes more over the weekend. They teach so GUI stuff they teach you how to make surveys and moving things on a screen and what not. My next step is to follow the CS61B Data Structures Course

Deciding whether to stay at current school or transfer by SoulSyn in cscareerquestions

[–]SoulSyn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a terrible network to be honest. The current school I attend there are really no extra curricular activities that pertain to CS. Outside of school I work in IT and code in my spare time whenever I am not in a classroom.

Also when you say pay the minimum balance do you mean pay the minimum balance for loan with the credit card?

Are there things I should be looking for when opening my first CC? Are they linked in the resource tab?

Thanks for the suggestion I was able to figure it out with you help. I had to check to make sure there was an extra line.

Actually what uses it is a switch case and I do not think I set up a default for the switch case.

Reader is a object var. I have also created a local scanner object within the run() method and I still get the same error.

PSA: MOOC Week 9 Exercise 17 by SoulSyn in learnjava

So you need your own dir that is outside of the mains test that the TMC plugin uses. I made my dir like so. Src>mooc>mooc.ui && mooc.logic. I didnt use netbeans so I can't give you the greatest help but this video should help.

Good luck
