Any recommendation for websites like Sophia.org to finish "CS 1101 Programming Fund." - ayman003 - 09-02-2020
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

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?

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.(09-07-2020, 07:21 PM)MNomadic Wrote:(09-07-2020, 05:54 PM)nomaduser Wrote: ASU's intro to programming is not recommended.
