Java Video Tutorial 13

In this part of the Java Video Tutorial I cover most every method available for manipulating Strings and StringBuilders.

As far as I know, it is the most complete java tutorial ever made. I then get into design patterns, object oriented design, refactoring. I'm now working on java algorithms. I'll then cover graphics, games, networking, android, JEE, spring, hibernate, JUnit, etc... By the end I'll have covered everything :)

It is easier to grasp if you print out the code and take notes. Then you can refer to the code to write your own programs. Always feel free to ask questions. Also, don't try to memorize. You'll remember the most important things through repetition

The mark of a great teacher is the ability to make the complex seem simple. You are a fantastic teacher! Thank you for this!!

Thank you very much :) Im not popular for numerous reasons : Videos are too long, Most people are only interested in learning the basics of a language, I don't talk down to my viewers and I assume they are intelligent, etc. I'm extremely happy with my little community from around the world! I'm still amazed that anyone watches my videos

[derekbanas]

Thank you very much for the kind words :) If you ever have any questions feel free to ask them. The negative part of watching videos is that there is normally nobody available to answer questions. I do my best to answer all of them. I hope I am able to help

Thank you very much for the kind words :) I'm going to hold a vote soon in which everyone can vote on whether I will make Android Apps & Games or J2EE Tutorials. If I get enough votes I will be covering everything there is to know about Android apps for the next 6 months. Thanks for the request

Another great tutorial. I don't understand why these aren't more popular! You aren't wrong by saying this is the most complete Java tutorial, its very reassuring for you to give us almost everything there on a topic such as this. The most important thing for me is to grasp a very good understanding of Java so I can manipulate code well. Thanks a lot for the tuts! :)

[derekbanas]

Thank you very much for the nice message :) The Java tutorial continues into design patterns, object oriented design, refactoring and now Android. I'm dividing everything up just for convenience. I plan on making Java tutorials until I have covered everything. Game development, JEE, networking, etc. are coming next.

[derekbanas]

Thank you :) Im very happy to help and always feel free to ask questions.

ensureCapacity guarantee I will get at least the amount of space I request, but it may provide more. I'm happy you are enjoying the videos :) I enjoyed making Java videos so much I have been making them for almost 2 years now!

If == is used on Strings it checks if they are stored in the same place in memory.
If equals() is used it checks if the data stored in the string (whether "Dog" is equal to "Dog") is equal.
One deals with objects while the other deals with the actual characters and whether they are the same or not.

Thank you very much :) I do my best to constantly improve. I'm happy that you like them

[derekbanas]

Yes I use that all of the time. I really have to take the time to do an Eclipse shortcut video. Thank you for the input :)

[derekbanas]

Everything I know is based on programming. I have always used computers in all of my other jobs over the years. So when I was in marketing I tested everything imaginable and always considered it how to program people. When I was a stock broker I tested portfolios with computers. The psychology stuff comes from the programming people days. I'm not all that smart I have just learned to teach computers to make me look that way :)

i am really enjoying these tutorials...yay!..i wish the day had 48 hours so i can watch more of these at once..thank you sir

[DrYunfattpao]

You definitely shouldn't stop, they're very helpful. I really do hope these become more popular. You could probably advertise them to uni students, because I know alot of people on my course would find these very useful

[derekbanas]

I'm sorry if that is confusing. As you'll see in my more advanced tutorials I don't write code like this in the real world. In these tutorials my goal is to show you how to do everything. I wanted this to be a java API video tutorial. I actually made this using the API as a guide. I think of the code provided as a cheat sheet you could copy and paste from until you slowly memorize everything. These tutorials were built as a tool to use later and not just a video tutorial. Does that help?

[derekbanas]

Thank you for the kind message :) I have many hidden java tutorials in the design pattern, object oriented design, refactoring and now Android tutorials. J2EE is coming up after I finish with C. i hope you like them

[thiags]

Man, You always rock, I am watching all the remaining java classes. Hopefully i will get better, Great Job, Please continue. Thanks again for your great work, Simple and clear explanations.

[derekbanas]

You are very welcome. I'm very happy that you are enjoying them :)
