"what is the difference?": One of them had a major vulnerability that affected a big part of the internet to be at risk. But I'm not telling which one it is...

Watching this again after the Log4J2 incident. Logging hell gets a different meaning.

How do you come up with so much clarity? The video seems to be short, but the effort you would have spent going through their docs and understanding, then coming up with just the information required in 10mins is tremendous. Respect.

I came knowing nothing about logging libraries now I know you can have multiple libraries serving your project! Thanks man!

Your channel is all what every enterprise Java developer ever needs

Thanks a lot for making the Video! It cleared up a lot of stuff for me.
Keep up the good work and the content on Spring Boot coming! 😊

Thanks Kaushik sir. Your High quality contents are a boon for us.
Please also make tutorials on design patterns, architecture and React JS

Koushik, you are the best teacher. If anyone asks me where to learn Java or similar stuff from, I recommend you to them.

[zekaleon]

Supremely digested, thank you so much! I might add, as well as the other videos. You're making a great contribution to the developer society. Very informative and very ingestible.

Good content ! One thing I'd like to add here is SLF4j vs log4j is that placeholder { } in SLF4j reduces lot of string concatenation in the code and also avoids creation of String Object, thereby reducing the memory requirements, and this could be handled by if (LOGGER.isDebugEnabled()) clause in log4j style.

You know what? I don't skip any ads on your channel. That is the simplest thing I could do to appreciate your work. Thank you Kaushik.

Hello Kaushik, kudos on the nice presentation.
For your information, log4j predates JDK 1.4 and hence java.util.logging by 3 or 4 years. Thus, the beginning of the presentation where log4j is shown as an improvement upon java.util.logging is historically inaccurate.

Thank you so much for your content. I truly appreciate it and you've helped me so much at my job

[sarmadchandio]

I want to say something to you Kaushik, I am new to development (less than 1-year experience) currently working with an IT company here in Pakistan as a Java developer, but let me tell you When I get a job in Europe I will surely donate too much money to support your channel. Love for you Kaushik sir! 😄🥰

[MaximumJoy]

I was expecting to be confused but you explained this very eloquently. ++subscriberCount;

[jithinmv]

Logging really became a hell with log4J🥴

[shashidhar]

The quality of the content is amazing. Thanks Kaushik.
