Any recommendation for websites like Sophia.org to finish "CS 1101 Programming Fund."

I already have programming experience and I looking to earn this credit quickly but I don't know where to find websites like Sophia.org where they have similar course which is accepted by Uopeople

Oh that's funny, I saw your post on reddit and was about to answer. The names might be a little off but here are some potential options:
OD- intro to programming
Edx- computer science fundamentals microbachelors
SDC- intro to computer programming
Uxcel- intro to programming with java
Saylor- intro to computer science I
SL-intro to programming (you can choose java, c++ or python)
ASU(EA)- you're a day late and a dollar short to try their programming for everyone course

[tallpilot]

SDC is the way to go in my opinion because a large percentage of the intro to programming modules directly transfer into the algorithms course. Saylor is terrible, IMHO. The SDC course is a pretty through introduction but you may want to also do the programming in Java lessons concurrently if you are not a strong programmer.

Thank you guys for these recommendations.
I searched for SDC burt I could find any links for that. Sorry I am new here and not familiar with these short names

SDC = study.com

ASU's intro to programming is not recommended. That course will take over 3 months to complete. You can finish study.com intro to programming in about a week I guess.

ASU is expensive now ($400 + $25) so not worth it to most people. But the slower pace isn't necessarily a bad thing. You can work on it while finishing other classes.

For what it's worth, the ASU programming class is very high quality. I'd say it's light-years ahead of SDC or any of the alt Credits on the subject I've tried. I wish I'd had my first exposure to computer science be that class. But of course, if saving time/money is the priority, alternative credits would be more suited.

When it comes to just needing credit - say you already know the language but need the credit - or you just want fast credits, what about supplementing with LinkedIn Learning or Udemy courses? I know you won't get credit for them, but there are so many courses where you could expand your knowledge. Any idea if these would be beneficial?

Of course! Any learning whether it's moocs, youtube, etc can always help. I'm supplementing my python/computer science learning through edx, OD, Coursera, ASU, and a free app(and I have a bunch more courses/resources bookmarked for future learning). So far everything is review since I've been tinkering with python for a while but it's great practice to really solidify my foundation.
