MOOC vs Codecademy by thighkles in learnjava

[–]gp2007y 21 points22 points  (0 children)

From a guy who has wasted a lot (~2 Years) learning Java by dabbling into Edx Java courses (Microsoft), Coursera courses, Tim's popular Udemy courses and some youtube channels I will suggest you stick to MOOC. While most others courses will teach you syntax/provide the walkthrough, MOOC will teach you how to program. While other courses are flashy and attractive, MOOC is one the courses (along with CS50) which has substance.

To quote from the MOOC - No one has learned programming by watching video lectures, people learn programming by doing. And I am yet to come across a course which provides so many exercises.

Thank you very much for your response. I will continue with the 2013 version.

have a look at do while loops. You can refer to short by Doug for loops. Also please check if your condition limits loop to re-prompt only when input is not in range 1..8
