About the Course

Build on the software engineering skills you learned in “Java Programming: Solving Problems with Software” by learning new data structures. Use these data structures to build more complex programs that use Java’s object-oriented features. At the end of the course you will write an encryption program and a program to break your encryption algorithm. After completing this course, you will be able to: 1. Read and write data from/to files; 2. Solve problems involving data files; 3. Perform quantitative analyses of data (e.g., finding maximums, minimums, averages); 4. Store and manipulate data in an array or ArrayList; 5. Combine multiple classes to solve larger problems; 6. Use iterables and collections (including maps) in Java....

Thanks to the professors of Duke University for teaching this course using Security and Networking related practical problems. It enhances my knowledge and will recommend others to pursue this course.

Good and practical training approach to solve real worlds problems. Assignments and quizzes are quite challenging and interesting. Greatly motivates us towards programming and problem solving skills.

I don't know, maybe I'm wrong but the course was unnecessarily extensive, I came here to learn Java, not cryptography, Only content you'll learn about Java is ArrayList, HashMap, and HashSet which would take you one hour to learn in total, But because of crypto stuff, I finished to course in more than a week and got really tired. I think that was completely unnecessary and a waste of time.

The course asks for lots of programming and hard work which I appreciate as a way of learning better. But, some of the quiz questions have questionable wording which leads learner to answer wrong and have less grade even after knowing about the algorithm well and having correct program developed. This is frustrating.

Felt this was too vague for beginners, and too simple for those with experience. Spent a lot of time fighting with the quizzes to get it the answers it wanted, rather than focusing on writing good code.

Fantastic course. Great assignments and lectures. Low score because the workload is excessively high and overwhelming for novice programmers

Please, focus on what you want the student to know from the course. You exaggerate a a lot explaining stuff.

Some of the links are broken, the resources at some point are not found, and some of the exercises are vaguely explained ,considering the videos that are shown before each exercise.
