Java Just Got Easier to Learn and Teach | Java's New Hello World

Learning Java? I have good news for you! Its EASIER TO UNDERSTAND JAVA now with Java 21 adding some NEW PREVIEW FEATURES that make writing your first programs simpler. The first Java program that we've all come to know and love, "HELLO WORLD", has gotten easier to write and understand for the Java newcomers. As an experienced programmer, this may not impact you directly, but it's still an interesting language feature that in my opinion is long over due, and helps make TEACHING JAVA EASIER. In this video we'll look into JEP 445 UNNAMED CLASSES and INSTANCE MAIN METHODS in more detail.

What are your thoughts on this preview feature in JDK 21? Should it be kept?

[phisit]

Efficiency doesn't always equate to excellence! :) I'm new to coding and actively learning the foundational knowledge in Java, I'm opting for a more challenging learning approach.

Knowing the foundation is important and should never be a short cut!

Great feature debut! Thanks for covering some of JDK 21–your videos make it easy to keep up on Java!

Great video, Will! It is a good thing that they are simplifying the process to get one's feet wet coding Java.

I feel like those are important tho. You actually understand why and what is going on
