Course Description

Build on the software engineering skills you learned in "Java Programming: Solving Problems with Software" by learning new data structures. Use these data structures to build more complex programs that use Java's object-oriented features. At the end of the course you will write an encryption program and a program to break your encryption algorithm.After completing this course, you will be able to:1. Read and write data from/to files;2. Solve problems involving data files;3. Perform quantitative analyses of data (e.g., finding maximums, minimums, averages); 4. Store and manipulate data in an array or ArrayList;5. Combine multiple classes to solve larger problems;6. Use iterables and collections (including maps) in Java.

Amazing Course!

By Aaron G on 3-Nov-19

Wow. This was a surprisingly challenging class. In the best of ways though. Some of the questions in the quizzes need some rewriting to clarify, but still very fantastic overall.

They teach very nicely and make your doubts clear.

Very good information, learned a lot about HashMaps

This is a Dark Souls among courses, I git gud and failed lots of time which enhances my learning so I can debug, look up to stackoverflow and dissussion forums(but yeah I still mostly fail) . This time I passed, feel like a boss! 8/10 would recommend this to my fellow casual programmers what the hardcore one is.(Edited) Did you guys set this course difficulty as beginner? Wait, that 's illegal!
