It's an online course with about 40 students. I was honest about my background a
nd reasons for taking the class. I'm not the only experienced programmer in the
class (at least one other is a very experienced Java developer).
The course work mostly is watching videos, reading chapters from the book (not r
eally necessary), reading articles and discussing on a web-board or reading desc
riptions of assignments and then writing and submitting the source code that com
pletes the assignment. It's a 6 week course, so it's pretty dense. 2 week in and
I think I've submitted something like 15 assignments already (but very easy pro
gramming tasks for experienced C or C++ programmer, the time consuming part is j
ust making sure that every trivial detail in the assignment description is addre
ssed in the submitted code).
I created a Discord server for the class and have been tutoring students there w
hen I have time too.
