Sadly, this applies to many courses in the internet too. And I guess it will always be like that. There are many more people who understood the basics just good enough to teach them. Only a fraction of them really excels in the respective language.
And if you really excel in it, you may be a very busy person who earns loads of money and has no time for teaching. -
@finiteAutomaton Words of wisdom

That's why i stick with books @finiteAutomaton

Nursery teachers perhaps @aureliagbrl

@Braed Or it should strengthen your resolution to go to a good university.

I won't complain about my university anymore.
I also attended an IT high school and I never saw Scratch. And why the hell would they teach you both Java and python? You don't need a college to learn their basics, a tutorial is enough. What you need is advanced programming concepts, which you won't find elsewhere and a self taught won't get -
@Pr0methean Yes.

@hasu would I need to learn German beforehand?
-
@makwayne depends on the uni. If you come here for masters, my uni asks in every course if there is someone who doesn't underatand german. If that's the case the lecture will be held in english. Slides are usually in english anyway. So you can get buy without german.
-
@hasu that's awesome! I'll look for options :)
-
@makwayne just leave that college and take your education in your hands, don't depend on anyone. That's what I'm doing and my personal experience says, my life is fucked (in a positive way)
