Introduction to writing static methods in Java; Intro Java course Lesson 5 Video 1

This series of videos is suitable for programmers with minimal (or no) programming experience who want to learn Java. This is the twenty-sixth video in the Introductory Java series, and the first video in lesson 5 (static methods). In this video we're going to overview writing static methods in Java, including value-returning methods and methods that take parameters. We'll briefly cover topics such as flow of control and scope, but all of these topics will be dealt with in depth in future videos in this lesson. We also briefly cover structure charts.

There is a suggested (free) book below that you could read along with the videos lessons. However, the video is very straightforward and can also stand alone or accompany any other introductory Java textbook. Let's have some fun learning to program in Java!
