Great job. :)

Thanks Shawn. I'm a bit bummed that I had to unenrol from the Scala course but that would have been a bit difficult and I want to focus on one language at a time right now. And I can study Java/Groovy or Scala on my own.

Good going Jeff. As a total newb, I have to wonder if Java isn't a dead end, it's so riddled with vulnerabilities, it will either have to be totally rewritten, or it will be replaced by something else. A Guy

Java is still a very popular language and a good language to learn. If you check out the second link you'll see that it's ranked #2.
So, I'm going to continue to learn it and add in Groovy and Scala.

Oh and Python is ranked #8.

Congrats on the 100%

Is this a fully online course?

Thanks!
Yes, and it's free!
Coursera offers a lot of different classes and I've taken one before, Programming for Everybody.
And I signed up for a introduction to guitar class.
