I've watched a lot of java tutorials but none of them was able to teach as simple as you do. Thank you so much for making it so simple in our minds, which is the most important thing before jumping into something like that.

Jason's teaching method is excellent. I love his teaching.

There's something very satisfying about typing the code into a text editor that doesn't automatically add in all the closing brackets and spaces for you. This shows Jason's true master of the language. Very cool and exciting guides here.

This guy is AWESOME! Who is he? He is by FAR THEEE BEST teacher I've run into here on YT or online thus far. Will definitely be looking for more of him.

Go look at the file name there and go in that class and start executing at the main method so you don't have to put the dot class here.

Best practical example of what Class and Method are.

This is very detailed but super helpful tutorial for beginner. Thank you! only thing is why you choose eclipse over IntelliJ IDE? Which one would you recommend?

I'm on a laptop and folders don't allow slashes, in a 'floder name' what am I missing?

[joeroganpodfantasy]

I just realized (cause I was getting tripped out should we run java or javac first, when you know it's the compiler you know exactly the order of operation)
javac or javac.exe stands for Java compiler.

How do I get to the directory in command prompt?
