About this 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.
Who is this class for: This course is for anyone who has taken the first two courses in the Java Programming and Software Engineering Fundamentals Specialization, “Programming Foundations with JavaScript, HTML and CSS” and “Java Programming: Solving Problems with Software.” To succeed in this course, before starting you should have a good understanding of the following: variables, conditionals, for and while loops, methods, Strings, and the edu.duke custom libraries.

This course is useful, the teachers have step by step directions to easy understand.
it is amazing course thank you
I took the full Specialization, so I'm going write the same review for each of the 5 modules.
This is a great course, but it's not for beginners. They ask you to do a lot of coding, which is great since that's the only way to really gain proficiency. And the code they ask you to write is, in my opinion, pretty hard for someone new to coding. My hat's off to someone new to programming who makes it through the five modules.
So, thanks to Duke for putting together a great course. It was very good.
Coursera provides universal access to the world’s best education, partnering with top universities and organizations to offer courses online.
Very interesting course, a bit too fast paced towards the end, it is no more a beginner level course.
