Interesting, but means little without accreditation.

EDIT: Also, why's it all Java?

EDIT2: Addressing the downvotes: If you really think that any employer these days is going to be happy with "Learned from a list on Github" on your resume then you're sorely mistaken. It doesn't matter if the courses match an accredited program. The accreditation is what matters because no accreditation = no diploma. Employers like diplomas.

The ReadMe states these are all courses taught at reputable universities. Do you know of any courses taught at these universities that utilizes Rust or C/C++? Not asking to criticize or anything, I'm legitimately curious because I too would like to see more focus on these languages over Java.

I second @hellofriend, I learnt C++ as practical courses in the University.

I could somewhat understand teaching Java as professional education (although it creates positive feedback loop that doesn't do much good), but not exclusively teaching Java as part of CS degree.
