Course Description
"Learn Java the Hard Way" is a book with tutorial videos that teaches you how to code the same way a lot of us learned as children in the 1980s: typing in short, simple programs and getting them to work.The exercises and explanations in this book are distilled from my nearly two decades of experience teaching programming to ordinary students. Over 2,000 students have taken my classes and nine months later almost all of them knew how to code - at least a little!If you have ever bought another Java book for "beginners" and been lost by page 10, then my book is for you.

Graham Mitchell
Graham taught Computer Science at Leander High School (near Austin, TX) for twenty years (fall 1997 - spring 2017). Most authors of "how to code" text books have never worked in the classroom or have only taught university students who are already majoring in Computer Science or who have quite a bit of prior experience. And although he has had a lot of exceptional students over the years, most of his students were regular kids with zero experience and no particular aptitude for programming. Graham taught them to code, and he can teach you.
