Abdulaziz,

Are you taking a college level data structures course and want to know if the Java course here at TreeHouse will prepare you for it?

No, the course here will only cover the basics of a few data structures. Thus, it will not cover many of the data structures found in a college course or how these data structures are implemented at a computer science level.

I would recommend the MIT Opencoursweare courses for computer science related courses . However, the courses here do provide a good foundation in learning new languages. With your background you could easily get through the Java course within a day or two while maintaining conceptual understanding if you have a good foundation with C++. Although, you will need to find more advanced courses or challenge yourself with projects on Github to increase your skills. Just find other projects there that you can fork and fix bugs or even provide a new feature. Then also come up with your own projects.
