Some things that could be in Sololearn 2.0: * SIB and IB * Lamda Expressions * the native, synchronized, volatile, goto, transient and strictfp keywords. * concurrent random number generating (this is Preferred over Math.random() or the Random class) * Enums and lists in more detail (Did you know Enums can have methods? Enums are afterall a Class.) * Priority Queues * Print formatting (System.out.printf()) * Regex expressions * Reflection Things for all languages: * Various algorithms More non-cody things you may be interested in looking into for Java: * The SCP (String Constant Pool). (Why does == sometimes work for strings if == doesn't compare their values?) * How the Garbage Collector works There's plenty more, but hopefully something I mentioned helps.

Just remembered the Sololearn course never taught about the instanceof keyword. I highly suggest learning this one, it's perfect for situations with downcasting objects. Can be very useful. Quite surprised they didn't bring it up.

I'd love to see an advanced course using the HTML Canvas. Things like programming gravity, collision detection, centrifugal motion, procedural generation, etc.

I'm back 😉. They also missed generics in the Java course. Odly enough they explained it in the C# course.
