Alright, so I was successful in downloading this file brca1line.fa and I also placed it in my projects folder but it looks like an empty file. Some other files that were downloaded with it "brca1.fa" and "mansmall.fa", they have actual Strings in it but brca1line.fa does not have anything in it. If I try to print it, it prints nothing just blank and when I run my code on it, it returns 0 strings. Please help me out on what I should do. "brca1.fa" and "mansmall.fa" are working perfectly:

NOTE: These files were downloaded from http://www.dukelearntoprogram.com/course2/files.php under Quiz: Finding a Gene Zip file name was: All Example DNA Data It contains all the .fa files that I used. If someone is familiar with this course then please help.

WGU CS Free Study Resources

I'm putting together a list of free resources for WGU CS students, especially for those looking to study ahead before starting the program. Please let me know if you'd recommend any resources to add to the list.

Calc 1

• Official WGU: Zybooks with OpenStax textbook
• Official WGU: Link to Free Textbook Download
• Unofficial: Supplementary videos that show a visual/intuitive understanding of calculus from ThreeBlueOneBrown
• Unofficial: YouTube lectures from Professor Trefor Bazett

Discrete Math 1

• Unofficial: YouTube lectures from Professor Trefor Bazett

Data Structures and Algorithms

• Unofficial textbook: Problem Solving with Algorithms and Data Structures using Python

• Unofficial: Coursera Algorithms by Robert Sedgewick. An extremely thorough (but extremely difficult) Algorithms course from a highly renowned professor. This course is in Java and the WGU course is in Python, but I'm including it because this is the gold-standard algorithms course

Software 1-2 (Java)

Unofficial:

• Coursera Java Part 1
• Coursera Java Part 2
• Coursera Java Part 3
• Coursera Java Part 4

Computer Architecture

• Unofficial: Coursera: Princeton Computer Architecture

The Duke University curriculum uses Java and is available on Coursera. I haven't done it myself, but the Open Source Computer Science Degree is built around it.

Something like this would help then I guess 🤔

I audited these Coursera courses and thought they were very good, they teach the whole OOP style as well as how the language works. They don't go very deep, you'd have to go somewhere else to learn about the darker OO wizardries. But I felt like it's a good start.
