The work done by them has been incredible. Their course on OO with Java was a lifesaver as a student, helping me with a lot of concepts and filling the gaps, to start working as a SE.

While I didn't have the time to complete it, their fullstack course seems also very good, has someone completed it that can share their experience?.

The basic programming course I & II in University of Helsinki were in my opinion the best courses of the whole CS degree. And by "them" I think you are referring to the people who made that particular course, the folks at RAGE research group, led by Arto Hellas and Matti Luukkainen :). Great people, and really done great things for the quality of CS education in I'd say Finland in general.

Haven't done the full-stack course but it seemed ok, it irks me a little bit that it's still in JavaScript but oh well, you can't have it all.

Do you have links that you can share to these courses?
