Fun and worthwhile

My son enjoyed the classes, learnt a lot of new things and made new friends.

My 12 year old son has been learning to code online for a few years now and wanted to go a step further by learning from experts who could fill in the gaps in his knowledge and teach him to apply what he has learnt to real life projects.

Funtech met that need and then some!

I was especially impressed by the communication with parents, the attention they gave to the feedback from the students and the dedication of the tutors.
In my case I got 2 phone calls; one to discuss my son's feedback and another to arrange some extra time to help with his noughts and crosses project, which he really wanted to complete.

Thank you Funtech - we'll be back!

Very useful

Got my 12 year old daughter enrolled in a 2 week "online camp" for Java coding, after much of deliberation.
Pleased to say - she made the most of it and has found it very useful !
Definitely recommend it !!!

I am particularly pleased with the approach in getting my son through the coding classes. The instructors were patient and willing to help given it was his first experience in coding lessons. However, if not already considered I would like to suggest that the level of knowledge required prior to joining each lesson is specified in future. Overall, it was a good lesson for him. Thank you

Wonderful Java club

It’s great Java lessons. My daughter enjoyed it very much.

FunTech Virtual Camps Javacoder Review by Ifeoluwa O

I have loved the two weeks of coding using Java(Basics) .I can not wait for next year of coding using Java (Advanced) and i think Tutor24(Timothy) deserves a promotion.

Great!!

It was awesome! 100% want to come back! Range of camps Is absolutely huge with great quality in every direction! Tutor was reaally good and amazing at coding and problem solving! Especially Tim who knew exactly what he was doing!!
P.S Since I gave such a nice review can you make this camp! It is ("Roblox Studio" (Advanced))
P.S Tim was actually the best tutor I've ever had! Compared to my other camps I think having three people a camp is absolutely much better!

2 week java coding course

Course was fun, entertaining and informative. Would recommend it.

Ok

the course was a little slow-paced but quite good, you do learn the basics of java although you could learn it faster by yourself

Would recommend.

Tutor was very good.

I had lots of fun on this course, and I learnt loads of stuff. I had never done java before and only knew a bit about other coding languages (mainly HTML which didn't give me much help) but i understood the lessons well and took in loads of information. I loved how we used the code to do fun things after we learnt the concepts. Some of my favourited mini projects were rock paper scissors (in which i thought of an alternative way of coding the outcome of the game and got it to work) coding a shopping list (in which i made the list user input based instead of hard coded) and username+password where we made two hard coded variables with the Username and password, asked the user for them. If they got it right then Access Granted in the console and Access denied if one of them was wrong. To summarise, we went over lots of different code and put them to use in fun projects

Sanjit's Review

I enjoyed this course and think it was quite useful. I would definitely recommend it if you want to learn java.

Great Course!

In this course, I learnt so much about coding using Java, and found the course really challenging, as my teacher gave me lots of extension tasks. Would definitely do this course again!

Java

I was totally supported by the team .I enjoyed the course especially the one to one with Johnny. We will look forward to working with on a weekly session. Thank you very much for understanding me and helping me i appreciate it. Rahul and mum

Great.

I think it was great because we learned so much and now I can create whatever.

It was really good.

It was nice to learn code that is near python. It was more challenging and i did get confused but after it was explained it was better and it was easier.

Would rate it 4.5 stars. Great, knowledgeable, fun and exciting.

Everything is great however the first day is slower than the rest. I really like everything that was covered.

Everything is great however the first day is slower than the rest. I really like everything that was covered. I thought that the group progressed at a good pace however I would have wanted to know more about the interface part of it. I would have also wanted to know what the other things do apart from classes, modules and packages.

Summary of my thoughts

The whole course was very informative, with the tutors always there to help anyone who was struggling. The tasks were engaging but maybe there could have been more extension tasks to do.

very good

i would give it 4.5 but that does not work. it was fun and i learnt lots:)

So to be frank, it was a great course with an understanding tutor. Thank you so much John for what you did! I would definitely recommend you to anyone who was new to Java just like I was!

The course provides the attendees with a basic overview of Java, using a procedural programming style.

The course was well run, with a good pace through the week and my daughter enjoyed it a lot and learned about Java. There was some interaction between the participants and the tutor seemed to be friendly and experienced.

My only slight negative comment is that I think the content of the course could be more ambitous given it is 5 days long. It seems quite odd to teach Java and not introduce classes (or in Java 14 records). Java is an object-oriented language and so classes and objects are central to understanding and using it. If the attendees have done any Python, a lot of the content of the course is very familiar, they're just changing syntax so I would think that classes could be introduced gently on day 2 or 3 without overwhelming the students.

All in all though, a good use of my daughter's week which she enjoyed.

Java coder

Yousef has learnt many new things on this course.
There was no assessment at the end to see what he's absorbed or notes taken to ensure that he doesn't forget them.
I know the teacher asked them to take notes but he didn't follow up to see that they did.

Thank you for the virtual Java course: our son was enthusiastic throughout the week, learned a lot and was eager to share his projects with us. Given that I required individual support sessions to pre-install the required software I was very grateful for your exceptional care and service. When our internet connectivity let us down one day during the course, your representative followed up with a call and offered an extra one-on-one time for our son to catch up on the missed learning the very next day, which I believe goes above and beyond a usual level of support. We were big fans of Funtech residential camps before the lockdown, but having tried the virtual camp now, I can hundred percent recommend it to any parent!

Very fun and informative.

I learned alot on this course, and the tutor was very helpful. The instructions for setting up the coding environment and the meeting was very easy. I would definitely recommend for anyone who wants to learn the basics of Java, or just wants to code their own thing.

I quite enjoyed it overall, (besides my technical issues and having to use the virtual stuff) and I recommend this course to people who want to learn java (not with the pandemic either), I loved how it was almost a non-virtual course, and how a lot came out of it! It was a great 5 days, and I managed to get most of it done. :D

I would like to thank all the funtech people for letting me have such an enjoyable experience. This coarse will help me improve for my GSCE and i can be much better. When i started, two weeks ago, i was very bad at java. I had never done it before and it helped me a lot. I have done a coarse in funtech for python before and it was also good. I hopefully to do more fun tech in he future because this one was very enjoyable. Thank you to all the people in funtech. I also had a very nice teacher who helped my improve my java skills. He was very nice and very helpful and i think he should teach everyone because he i the best teacher in funtech because he taught me a lot of good java skills. I hope the java coarse will prepare me for me gsce because i think it is very good because it is better than my school. I had lots of fun at this coarse and i learnt a lot. I was very bad at the beginning and i have gotten a lot better thanks to the very good coarse. Also the teacher TIM was very nice and he helped my improve a lot on the coarse. Thank you all fr making my funtech experience very enjoyable. I went from being not good at java because i never did it before to being very adapt because the fun tech was very fun and informative

Overall i think this is a good coarse and i recommenced this to anyone.

Review

The course was fun, interactive and we learnt lots. I think you should give slightly longer breaks though. Overall, it was very interesting. Thank you, FunTech and Timmy.

My Review

It was fun and i learnt a decent amount about coding.

fun and useful

I really enjoyed this course and definitely learned much more than I thought I would have. I didn't expect to learn so much in a week. I've learned some useful skills throughout the course and would love to do it again.

Leo's Review

The teacher's explanations are good, this helps.

I had a good time

yeah it was pretty cool feel like they should've included a little more on the course but things were good anyway

Great course

I learnt a lot from this course from the basics to making games and I look forward to repeating it again.

Very Good Course for Learning Java

This is a very good course. It improved my knowledge of java by a lot even though I already had prior experience. I would recommend this camp to everyone trying to learn the programming language java.

Great!

I've had a blast!

Funtech course

The course was fun and i have learned a lot.

It was great

I learnt a lot from here, the teacher was very helpful.

Super Fun! I learned a lot!

This camp was VERY fun. i learned a lot and have come a long way from before the course when i did not know anything about java. i give it the highest rating. it was Very fun!

It was alright but a bit challenging

Overall I enjoyed this funtech experience although at times I felt as though I was left behind. This was due to the fact hat it took me a long time to grasp what I was being taught. This problem was quickly resolved as I was moved to another webinar with my brother. This really helped and aided me .

I enjoyed the lessons although they were a bit difficult.

The teachers really tried to help me throughout the course as it was my first time coding and I was not as experience as the other coders. Nevertheless it was still very useful and I was able to understand a large majority of the course in a short period of time.

Summary of your thoughts

Overall, I really enjoyed this course!! The teacher was fantastic, I liked how structured the course was. I had previously done a Python course with FunTech, and so learning the basics of Java was really interesting. My favourite part was probably doing if, and, or and else statements - I found it the most useful.
I found the topic of arrays slightly boring and repetitive, but that is just my personal preference. Overall, I don't have any complaints!
Thank you!
