Maven Crash Course: Step-by-Step Introduction for Beginners (Udemy.com)

Great starter class in Maven. I followed along in with every example and I was able to complete this class in one day. I feel like I learned a lot in this course. I attempted several other classes and found that the chosen UI became a big problem. In the other classes, the version of Eclipse or IntelliJ were always way out of date and I spent more time trying to get them to work than learning Maven. Jason stuck to the command line for most of the class which completely eliminated that problem. Complaint 1: Jason never ran his example code. It's not that difficult, but it only take a minute and I think it's a good confidence builder to see the code actually run. Complaint 2: There is a little too much copy and paste. I learn more from figuring out how to do something. Maybe tell the students what to do, give them a chance to do it, and then review the task with the students. Learning sticks better that way.

Halfway and still enjoying it. It's very engaging and good for a maven beginner. It doesn't go too deep with examples, but there is a fair amount of detail here. There are some prerequisites that are skimmed over, such as JDK versions and using a Java environment manager. It's not necessary for the course, but good to know that some projects may require specific JDK's, and would be nice to know and understand how to switch java versions. Overall, I'm enjoying what I'm learning here and I look forward to the next level course.

I like the way how Jason divided this course into sections and in each section there are smaller duration videos. The only thing I had trouble is when the video starts, Jason directly starts doing stuff without describing what he is going to do or what is the objective on that particular video. Everything else is wonderful and I enjoyed his classes.

Perfect course to understand the basic and to start working on maven projects. Speed is not too slow; not too fast. Some lectures where git is used to maintain even the projects created by trainee can be avoided. Also completion of course expects downloading the PDF files having commands used in each chapter and attending the optional chapters like installation on Windows/Mac/Linux. Generally a developer is bound to an OS and should not be forced to even look at the chapter for other OS.

1. Curso voltado para o ambiente Mac. Principalmente na parte de comandos o usuário tem que fazer a "tradução" para o ambiente Windows. 2. As legendas (CC) ficam em cima do texto no final da página (quando o CC utiliza mais de uma linha - normalmente usa), impossibilitando ver o que está sendo digitado! 3. Curso muito rápido. Dá uma visão bem geral. Acho que faltou um pouco detalhar projetos mais complexos com vários módulos em Eclipse. 4. Para uma introdução é muito bom.

With so many command lines to try to remember - the instructor made learning through command line a very effective tool with the aid of pdfs to remember them all after each section. Instructor gives everything needed to learn maven as well as get more familiar and comfortable using command line. A nice bonus.

I like the lectures - very free-flowing, clear and concise. The reason I'm docking a star is because the course appears too simple for me. It also felt repetitive at times. I have no idea how much of Maven I have learnt from this course - am I still a novice, or at an intermediate level now, or an expert? What else is out there about Maven that I don't know and will need to know?

I really liked the style of this course with each video being very short and simple. It worked well for me to fit in a video lesson here and there when I had time at work. This definitely gave me a solid understanding of all the basics of Maven and definitely fit my $ and time budgets. Very good examples were used in the course as well. Many thanks!

I have started with a jason's free git course and found he was talking exactly what i wanted, went ahead took GIT crash course and Maven. He talks to the point, sessions are short and east to follow. I am very happy what for taking in these course and straight aways started to apply in my project. Thank you Jason

I took Jason's git class and liked it so much I started looking for others. I would've liked if he spent more time talking about what a build tool is, and uses for Maven when Eclipse can build Java Projects on its own. But this is still the best maven video tutorial I could find by a mile, and he's really good with breaking complex topics down in simple terms without wasting time.
