Introduction to Generics - Java Programming

In this video, we'll talk about generics in Java as introduced in Java 5. We'll touch on how to make a class that uses type arguments, what type erasure is, and a few other topics. Hope you like the video!

Hey Will! how are you doing?? remember me?
This is so random, I'm taking a Java course and literally yesterday we started the Java Generics chapter, unbelievable
Great video, way better than what our professors are teaching us, specially when you deep into 'this won't work because..' or 'this will work because'.. I'm so glad I have found your channel!.
Do you mind giving me an example of a project to build from zero, even if it has way more advanced topics, I don't mind being all night long studying instead of playing League haha.
I have already make a full CRUD with JPA and MySQL but I want to dig deeper in knowledge!!
Hope you are great Will! Have the best of weekends.!
