How complete are these tutorials? Does they contain the same information as a book or maybe a classroom course?

Question

well, thats my question, does somebody have already compared?, im doing a "C" course i found in youtube and it's pretty much more extense than a course i took in my university (my teaher wasn't very good at teachin).
The thing is that it have a C++ and a Java course(on youtube), and i'm curious about which one take 'cause i like to hear music while coding and studying (i cant whit the videocourse).
It would be great to know if these tutorials are more like a way of introduction or a fullcourse.

Answer 1

I'm self taught in C and C++. The C++ class here didn't teach anything I didn't already know and I felt it did a good job of explaining the concepts. Things it is lacking in, is available libraries. You are completely taught the language and can go out to program immediately. However, there are tons of libraries available and they don't mention most of them. You could easily spend months to learn those.

The same thing is true of Java. I've taken Oracles class and this one. I learned more here as they did a good job explaining concepts I found confusing on Oracles site. However, the libraries are mostly ignored.

Answer 2

To call these classes comprehensive would be a lie. They are in no way complete or comprehensive. They are a simple guide of core concepts, nothing more.
PS the certificate it gives is also worthless.

Answer 3

so... it's the basic structures of the languages , like a way to get familiarized with each language sintaxis?... and the following steps is to get out there and investigate the other libraries?
