Elements of AI was created as a collaboration by University of Helsinki, the Finnish government and Reactor Innovations, a software consultancy.

It was well received by the Finnish general populace.

The Finnish government currently acts as the EU presidency, and decided to open access to all Europeans.

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?

That's great, it would be even better if it was open to everyone, you know, in line with EU values (democracy, education for all, freedom, etc.) :/

It is. You're free to start learning.

Today's announcement means more translations in European languauges.

Registration page doesn't ask you for official credentials and the country selection menu has all of the countries. Educating 1% of European population is just a personal goal.
