java-programming VS missing-semester

If you want to learn Java, do the MOOC Java Programming. Contrary to Codecademy, this is a proper University course. It is completely free of charge, textual, and extremely practice oriented.

I am close to finishing the first course of the University of Helsinki on Java and I am starting to look for what I will do once I have completed both course.

Se souber inglês e estiver buscando um curso partindo do inciante, recomendo muito esse curso da faculdade de helsinki https://java-programming.mooc.fi/ é inclusive o indicado no r/java

Learning Java from a thick textbook sounds painful in general. I’d recommend getting a used copy of a more comprehensive book for $20 or doing the free online courses through through University of Helsinki: https://java-programming.mooc.fi

MOOC Java Programming from the University of Helsinki. Simply the best Java course around.

MOOC Java Programming

So I looked for a compiled, strongly typed language, and I found Java. Althouth the University of Helsinki is probably less famous than Harvard, it offers 2 outstanding course on Java.

The missing semester of your cs education

You mentioned having issues with accessory concepts so perhaps this might help: https://missing.csail.mit.edu/. There's also a chapter on git

https://missing.csail.mit.edu/ is a good way to pass the Dec-Jan break if you want to prep for CS2030S + some more general stuff.

Reflecting a little bit more I don't think it was replit's fault, per-say. But that change should have been made together with a larger adjustment to the program. Like adding a class/unit in the style of [the missing semester](https://missing.csail.mit.edu/) to make sure people came away with a good range of intuitions.

From MJD's post: I think CS curricula should have a class that focuses specifically on these issues, on the matter of how do you actually write software?

But they never do.

FWIW, MIT's "The Missing Semester of Your CS Education" attempts to deal with this lack, though, even there, it's an unofficial course taught between terms, during MIT's IAP -- Independent Activities Period[1] -- and not an actual CS course.

Link to the "missing semester of your CS degree" course by MIT.

Rightly called The Missing Semester (of Your CS Education), this class from MIT will teach you how to use some of the tools that are fundamental to the software engineering ecosystem. From shell scripting to the fundamentals of information security—spanning around 12 lectures—you can add a bunch of practical skills to your toolbox.
