Learn Advanced Java

The presenter is not fully prepared; there is a lot of hesitation (er, um) in the speech and quite a bit of unnecessary repetition. Can you describe things as anything other than 'stuff'?

It's been an excellent course! It's taught me lots of technologies and how they interact with each other in the process of building a Java application. I felt a bit lost before taking this course but after having taken it I feel now much more confident and much less lost. Thanks a lot for the great course. I completely recommend it.

I like the way the instructor teaches, i'm on the Git_Github Chapter and i understand important things about version control... Very important for me as i am a beginner, i really enjoy it!

I know John as one of the best in the business. He is very passionate, dedicated at what he does. He knows his subjects, puts his heart into it, hence as always he comes up with well-built courses loaded with well-constructed modules. Quality and quantity are on the menu. I haven’t gone over everything yet but as time goes by I won’t be disappointed. So way to go John! Ed: Badger/Mamba

Unfortunately this is NOT an advanced java course. The title should be. "Watch John fumble around in Eclipse and only give the most basic information on some of the stuff he found difficult when he got his first job" If you are looking for a Learn Advance Java course , skip this one. It is not worth the time or money.

Most of the course was satisfactory and covered a good range of subjects. However, far too much focus was placed on the Eclipse IDE and it's environment. As such there was less coverage of purer Java. THe final Spring related sections were overly involved, repetitive and again focused on the outcome rather than the subject matter. I also believe these came from another course as the bonus section thanked us for completing a different course and suggested the current course to us! This lead me to feel that the course was just put together from other course sections without a care for continuity. Overall the instructor's knowledge was good but his delivery was slow (often had to playback at a faster speed). At times, he spent time fixing issues that we had to persevere, this perhaps could have been avoided with better editing, and many times his suggestion for any errors, was "to google it". His implementation of code was sometimes confused and more to a personal specification than to particular modern coding standards, this is not an issue in itself but at a declared "advanced" level more attention needs to be paid to such things. Certain subjects such as version control were unnecessary in an "advanced" course, and some more significant areas such as testing were almost non existent. Much of the content was rather dated, and there seems to be little or no response to current questions. In fact, the course itself looks as though it's already several years behind. I can't truly recommend this course to advanced students as there is better info elsewhere, which means it's also hard to place where it should sit, perhaps with beginners with a little Java? For myself, as a senior developer with many years of programming with many languages including Java, I intended to use this as a refresher. However, it taught me little that I did not already understand, and much of the content and delivery could do with a clean approach.

Very much on point for what I needed. Teaches you the common tools and practices used when working professionally as a developer. It has given me the building blocks to write programs that are actually useful. Definitely increased my confidence in programming.

I really liked this course. It gives an introduction in many concepts that makes me want to learn more.

I wish I had taken this course sooner. It is a fantastic transition from java basics to learning to use the kind of technologies that working developers use. The course does not go into great depth about any given topic, but gives one enough to hit the ground running. I would recommend this course to anyone who has learned basic Java syntax because even the more advanced Java concepts are introduced clearly.

Just listen to a few begin lectures but I am pretty sure that he has a deep knowledge of Java. So, essential explanation of Java for those want to deeply understand the language!

Starting of course was good but as course progresses speed of explanation is also increasing which makes it bit difficult to understand at fast pace

I really really loved this course :-) I am an experienced BE developer and I've been working with Python for years and I was looking for a course on advanced Java (I already know the basics), and this course was to the rescue ! I think the topics covered here are essential and very beneficial.

I started learning java with this guy and I have to tell I m glad I did. This is his second course I m taking and I m sure he'll teach me what I need to know

So far interesting although having no background of Java, I understand the things quickly it because of the way John conduct the course, he starts from very basics

I know John Purcell, He's very nice. You're very clear. Step by step the code becomes like a manual.
