If you can elaborate more in how to create the file. Example: it should be saved as all files, most people won't notice that.
I enjoyed the style and examples, I feel more confident.
The wrapping us was too quick and without any next steps that students may want to follow to make more progress
A lot of pausing and rewinding required. Some practical examples/exercises at the end would be good. However, since it was free....
a couple of minor stuff :
brackets doesnt install out of the box on ubuntu as libcurl3 has been broken down in two packages, thus will require ignoring the dependances for the install
otherwise , creating a file then naming it after editing it is a bit cumbersome . As I use Vim as a text Editor, i usually name the file as I create it.
Good course, good pace and clear explanations. It's maybe assumed a too high a level of knowledge already acquired when explaining objects, loops, functions, etc. Putting them into context would also help.
I was hoping to learn more of the Java commands and experience with things only Java can do. This is sort of like a complete beginners guide to any coding, as functions, loops, expressions and variables are basically the same in any language.
Good course for anyone who has never coded before in any language.
