Excellent quality of teaching and explaining of basic java concepts. One problem was that the solution videos were quite slow.

I think this course could be done with cmd as its an introduction to JAVA So its better to learn on that platform before going to eclipse

It was a great experience overall. But 4 stars because some things (which I already know from school) were a bit confusing to understand (in the way it is explained) in the learning course.
