Java camp

the camp was really fun , and I learnt about the foundations of Java , which was very interesting to learn

Had fun

Camp was fun. I learnt a lot. It was challenging but the tutor was good at explaining the content. The live demonstrations of the coding was useful.

Fun and i understood everything, only down side is the videos are mind numbing boring and i took in nothing from them, as they where in a small monotone un-enthusiastic voice. I found my self lost half way through and the excessive whistling song in the background added to the loss of concentration. These videos also (in my opinion) not very informational as they spend to much time either sidetracked by a point they made or they endlessly talk about one point. For example a video began getting offtrack as they talked about something that was like people getting on to a bus they proceeded to spend the next thirty seconds rambling about the bus and then stating how if someone doesn't have enough money they can't ride they started talking about why this is in real life and went "Here at FunTech we need to get money to"

Java coder p1

there was a few tech issues such as lag aside from that there weren't many issues. I would recommended the courses for ages 11+. it is a fun easy course for someone to do if they wish to learn more about coding in java.

It was very fun

It was very fun and I learned a lot about Java

very good

It was very helpful

java course

I thoughly enjoyed my time at FunTech and would definitely take another course. The only thing I would change is to attempt more challenging topics such as operations and arraylists.

java coding

i found this course really good and educational. I enjoyed the problem solving side of it and each lesson was challenging but fun . However i didn't think the end of term project options were good and on previous courses the were more fun

Very useful for getting me started with Java!

I've been interested in coding for a while ever since I started in Python, so the obvious next option was Java.

I've been interested in coding for a while ever since I started in Python, so the obvious next option was Java. We decided the best way to do it would be via a summer camp in the holidays when I have nothing better to do, and we were right! We learned all the basic syntax and other base coding principles from other languages in Java, and got to work on lots of projects to test and develop on our skills. There was definitely sufficient learning for an introduction to Java, and I enjoyed it :)

Java coder part 1

It was a great course and I learnt so much.

java camp

the camp was good but what I would change would be to be full day over 2 weeks of time of the camp the pace was good and Anderson was very kind and helpful.

Review

I enjoyed doing funtech, i felt it had pretty good pacing but the hours were a bit to long. I feel i learnt alot. Thank you.

Great java course

learnt a lot for something new, definitely more than i would in school. The teacher was great and was always ready to help with our errors. :)

It was realy fun

It whould have been 5 stars if on the first week we whould go a little slower but all in all it was realy wourth it

FunTech HalfDay course

Very fun and informative course

I had a good time

It was a bit boring at first but the second week was better.

Good

It was a good course, I learnt a lot and know how to use java now which is really cool

FunTech Java Camp helped me so much during the holidays, as I learned lots of new codes and techniques of Java. Usually, I do Python but now this is something else and it is interesting that it is an another coding platform/software. There is lots of different types of coding variables that is not in Python. During this insane journey of learning Java, I have been amazed by how much this could improve my coding skills and help me with my future. Learning different types of coding platforms will inspire me and make me becoming a professional coder. As well as learning new things. It has been so fun because we made lots of different lessons/topics. This will help me on and thank you for making this amazing camp!

i learnt java

Alex's FunTech Java - Coder Review

I have greatly enjoyed this Java camp the entire 2 weeks, although I have had Eclipse / Bomgar issues from time to time.

Cool

I would do it again I learned a lot and it was fun maybe in the future you should do a specific java minecraft hacking course

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 !!!

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.

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:)

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.

I have never done java before, but I had had fun at FunTech before, so it was great, how I learned a completely different coding language.
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

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.

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

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.

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!

An insightful Course

This course was not particularly life-changing to me, it was quite slow, and i often found myself ahead of the other students, but it still provided a lot of knowledge and was helpful in the development of my game.

review

It was great fun and it adapted to are requests very well. the only reason it is not 5 star is because at the start it did not properly cover how to get set up.

Was very fun, sometimes a bit slow.

I really enjoyed this camp, and liked having the extension tasks. I felt sometimes I was stuck with nothing to do, but as we did more complicated stuff it was a lot better. I preferred the second week to the first week, especially when we could do our own projects, and use all the code that we learnt. The camp was brilliant for an introduction to Java and I would really like to do another camp here.

exciting and fun

good and fun but could do with more game coding

FunTech Response
The objective for this camp is to learn to code in Java. For game coding, we do have a Python Game Coder course.

One of the bad things about the course was that you had to get up pretty early in order to have breakfast and set your computer up. It would be all that much better if it was slightly later.

it helped me learn and helped me deal with my computer problems

the course was going at the right pace and the teacher was good at explaining and helping me when I was stuck. It is really fun and interesting and very easy to get onto. I would like to do it again

vey fun and enjoyable with good challenging challengers

I think camp was excellent and i learnt a lot about java coding and has helped me with my work at schools maybe a bit more game making but overall a excellent camp

Shrek approves

The course was very fun, though it was another course my mother bought without my consent, i feel it is a good way to teach code.

Good, but could be better

I liked the course, and the teachers were nice, but our teacher for the second week was, I think, worse that our one for the first. Our tutor for the second week wasn't as good at the actual teaching of the course, but was good at helping with the final activity (make your own code).

it was good

i did java coding yolo

Exciting week, learned a lot!

Java lesson were great, good teacher and the course explained well. during the breaks a little boring. The rest was great and i overall had a great week!

Fun. .

This was a fun week, spent mostly behind a computer, writing code. The exercises were challenging (at least for me) and relied on problem solving skills as much as programming. The tutors are helpful but don't just give answers.

I really enjoyed the course and found it very useful and learned a lot. It was interesting seeing the difference between java and python as I have done python at school. Although I have have only done one of the courses I found the variety of choices really good. I like how they not only show us the coding but also the technical terms. Plus, I didn't find the work too difficult and when I did struggle the Tutors (Paul and William) Were really helpful and good at explaining it. The atmosphere was good as I felt I was learning a lot but it didn't feel like school. I like the break timing as we were able to relax in between work. And at lunch they provided games outdoor and indoor if it is raining.
I really enjoyed the course and would recommend it to a variety of ages for people who like computer science and coding. I would definitely like to do another course.

#Java_cool_coder

Learnt loads in every subject
SO FUN!!!
I can now comfortably code
by the end of the week you are 10x better than you ever thought you could be!!
It also improved my touch typing

Java Coder

The FunTech Java Coder Programme is really good. I really enjoyed it. The Residential side could be improved, in the sense of meals. Also maybe splitting the classes in older and younger would be better as the a bit of waiting around. But on the whole a really good experience.

really good week

Fun tech was amazing and super fun, I was a residential for the week and the activities were very good. My tutor Paul was very good and explained stuff I was stuck with really well. The java course was very fun and very good!
