I finished mechanical engineering, but decided to pursue computers due to better job opportunities. But the transition was anything but smooth. It took me a long time just to get a hang of object oriented programming. I took the help of many instructors, but to no avail. I finally figured it out using innumerable boring books, and I wished they had taught me differently, saving me all that time and frustration. I just thought I will save you some time! Hope you like it!
Most people find it difficult to listen in class or to lectures. This is not the fault of the student. TV and internet has made us tune out of listening to anything that does not visually stimulate and engage us.
These step by step video tutorial is to fill that void. It is not only effective but is also time saving.
Concepts are explained in a refreshingly simple manner. You will love the videos. I guarantee it.

Our AP CompSci A teacher quit at the end of February, and I was given about a week to learn Java well enough to teach the class. This course was a great starting point to get all the basics in time, in a way I understood. Thank you!

Not exactly sure what is happening, kind of just doing things without explaining why or what.
By Jafar Minaai on 3/8/2022
All the basic concepts in Java are covered concisely and well explained. In my opinion, there are a few exercises missing in the course. It would be better if the important packages in Java and their classes were briefly discussed.
