I have to say this is an amazing course. I have worked with Java before, then moved on to other things and came back as a refresher. I learned so much new information, and the way he explains it, makes it so easy to grasp. Really great course, and the instructor responds super fast to questions. You want to learn the foundation of Java programming and really understand it? Take this course. Would love to see this guy teach a class on Java for web development.

A self-taught programmer with many years of experience using Java and C#. My aim is to teach subjects in a concise and approachable way. I put a lot of effort into conveying topics so that all necessary details are included, to ensure that you can learn and exercise your knowledge with as little frustration as possible.
