@15johnkim super refers to the base class instance. The way inheritance works is that there is a chain of instantiation, where ultimately the last link is the class you're actually creating an instance of, and the first is Object. In our case here, we have Object > Base > Subclass.
You can think of using "super" inside of Subclass as working with an instance of Base, just like how "this" is the instance of Subclass. I'll cover it in more detail in a future video.
@Gibbonator42685 Thanks for your kind words. As for other tutorials, they're all over, but it is hard to find good ones. That's part of the reason I began mine. I wasn't quite satisfied with what else was out there, and mine tend to include things I wish I had learned about early on.
Just remember videos like these are never a substitute for books, and certainly not for coding. Sometimes you just have to jump in and play around.
@Gibbonator42685 One that I would highly recommend would be the programming methodology lectures that Stanford posted. Great professor. The only drawback is that lectures like those are generally at a slower pace than more targeted tutorial videos like what I try to create.
Absolutely great video. I've watched them all now and really looking forward to your next one. Please keep up the great work.

One question: Do you recommend any other tutorials I could use to broaden my knowledge?

@Gibbonator42685 Check out Richard Buckland from UNSW as well. He's also a brilliant lecturer.
