It was well explained because it helped me to understand the advanced level of Java.

This course is a good match for me. The explanations are clear and the videos are easy to follow.

talks too much and explains so little.
By Kirtesh Patel on 8/20/2019
The course covered lots of fundamental topics in a very simple way to understand and some ideas of what is and is not good coding practice throughout the course was, also, helpful.

Fast-paced. A little hard to follow, but good and can be repeated by students.

It's a good course, for all people trying to learn Java. The instructor deserves all the praise he can get, because these videos are amazing. GG.
UPDATE AFTER FINISHING:
The review I posted above ^^ is exactly what I'm still saying. Awesome course; it really helped me. Thanks :)

I picked up an Oracle Java for Beginners book before hearing about this course. If I hadn't read some of that book beforehand, I don't think that I would have followed Mr. Collingbourne's course very well.
That being said, I enjoyed the course and learned a bit more than I did before going through the course.
I feel the course name containing the words "the Master Course" was a bit deceptive, as I thought that the course would go a bit more in depth. Nevertheless, Mr. Collingbourne and his e-book (which he offers for free with the course) were overall very informative and pointed me in the right direction for further study.
He uses NetBeans as his IDE - I prefer another. I wish that he had covered how to create the JForm shortcut in NetBean's to create his forms that he uses like in every other video. I would have liked to know how to create a form in Java manually and for him to explain the syntax for that rather than use NetBean's interface.
Summary: Form syntax rather than NetBean shortcuts and a bit more depth in the overall course. Loved learning from Mr. Collingbourne.

i really like how this man speaks.
By MD Alamgir on 5/22/2018
good match, course pace and explanations are good.
By James Nicholson on 4/12/2018
Very clear explanations and code examples. Easy to follow and good detail of the concepts. Would like more interactive exercises and more detail for the more advance concepts like files and exception handling.
