课程概述

The basis for education in the last millennium was “reading, writing, and arithmetic;” now it is reading, writing, and computing. Learning to program is an essential part of the education of every student, not just in the sciences and engineering, but in the arts, social sciences, and humanities, as well. Beyond direct applications, it is the first step in understanding the nature of computer science’s undeniable impact on the modern world. This course covers the first half of our book Computer Science: An Interdisciplinary Approach (the second half is covered in our Coursera course Computer Science: Algorithms, Theory, and Machines). Our intent is to teach programming to those who need or want to learn it, in a scientific context. We begin by introducing basic programming elements such as variables, conditionals, loops, arrays, and I/O. Next, we turn to functions, introducing key concepts such as recursion, modular programming, and code reuse. Then, we present a modern introduction to object-oriented programming. We use the Java programming language and teach basic skills for computational problem solving that are applicable in many modern computing environments. Proficiency in Java is a goal, but we focus on fundamental concepts in programming, not Java per se. All the features of this course are available for free. People who are interested in digging deeper into the content may wish to obtain the textbook Computer Science: An Interdisciplinary Approach (upon which the course is based) or to visit the website introcs.cs.princeton.edu for a wealth of additional material. This course does not offer a certificate upon completion....

This was a very great course to learn a powerful programming language, techniques used. This has changed my life for better and am looking forward to a career change into the programming world.

Can't wait to get into the second part of the course. The best programming course ever provided for free of cost. The techniques used are backed by mathematical thinking. It is just awesome.

This course is a good introduction to computer science. Since not all aspects of the code are explained thoroughly, students may have to do a small amount of research on their own. The focus is understandably more on theory than on the Java language.

The lectures and extra resources were great, but the most worthwhile thing from this course has gotta be the exercises they give. Super fun, extremely challenging, and helped immensely in making sure the contents of the lectures and the book stuck.

I think it's a good course overall, however, I feel like it's not a course for someone who has no previous programming knowledge since there are many concepts that are not explained clearly enough for a beginner.

This course was great for learning Java, but I believe it could have been better if it had covered the actual "computer science" aspect (like the anatomy of a computer, history of computing, etc.)

The 5th star is absent only because the course relies on custom libraries. Not that I'm against that (who am I to say Robert Sedgwick is wrong, right?), but it would have been good, no?

Great course, there were many useful applications, very often more interesting than programming itself. It would be great if there would be more OO concepts involved

The courses very good to learn, the presenters are also very good at explaining, it's just that there are no Indonesian subtitles in each explanation video.

Excellent course. Little hard for beginners, especially the software testing enviroment is very strict. But it is very straightforward course.

It was an amazing experience provided by the course. It would be a solid 5 if it was a bit small like one less module . Otherwise works fine.

It's a course that reliably covers the necessary fundamental topics for anyone who begins in earnest a computer science career.

Course is good but need to be more interactive and the content sometimes doesn't help in completing exams or assignments.

A bit complex considering it has beginner difficulty. I believe it should be intermediate at least.
