Java Video Tutorial

[djamorpheus]

I really like your voice but i wish your videos were just a little bit slower paced.

[derekbanas]

@djamorpheus Sorry, they are a bit fast. I've been playing around with speed learning since so many people learn better speed reading. I try to make original videos, but they sometimes don't go over to well

[WikiPeoples]

@derekbanas Please don't slow down... That's what a video is for - we can REPLAY it if we missed something. I personally really appreciate that you move quickly and cover JUST the facts. If I miss something, I rewind. Others can too. :) :)

[LegendHD1]

You are A LEGEND

[derekbanas]

@LegendHD1 Thanks I do my best :)

[drkord1]

Excellent teaching style and video presentation.

[derekbanas]

@drkord1 Thank you. I'm glad you like it :)

[danrayson]

You'd get a LOT more views if you labelled your tutorials by what's covered in them. Just sayin' ^^ If you put the 5second ads on too, you'd earn some cash :)

[derekbanas]

@danrayson Thanks. I normally change my thumbnails after I get everything done. I just get wrapped up in the next video. I try to avoid using pre-rolls. I know I'm like the only partner not using them right now :)

[chome4]

Excellent stuff. I'm jumping the gun, but when you say 'expert', what's the best way to get experience? Can you recommend a website where people can go and get 'tasks' to test themselves. Thank you.

[derekbanas]

@chome4 I learned by experimenting. Start off simple by automating math calculations. Automate everything that you do regularly. If you like games make a tic tac toe game using just text. Then turn it into a GUI game. Then figure out the logic for making a checkers game. Keep getting more complicated. Learning is supposed to be fun and useful

[chome4]

@derekbanas Thanks for your reply...

[espaach]

no wait. it says i have no main type. i dont even know what this means? (my first day java coding :/)

[espaach]

if i try to execute my program it says there is no main class even though i defined my main class... agh wtf :(

[PraxiaDesign]

I really like your tutorial style, Derek. Keep up the great work!

[derekbanas]

@PraxiaDesign Thank you. i do my best

[Demonster17]

The compressed(zipped)folder

..... program placement name ect, is invalid.

[86Siu]

good one, thank u

[Unionpacificmodel17]

Can you program java on notepad?

[derekbanas]

@Unionpacificmodel17 Get Notepad++ if you're on a PC. It's free and many people I know use it

[derekbanas]

@Unionpacificmodel17 Actually I'm using Eclipse in these tutorials and it is also free and what I use

[gaggerzon]

Awesome tutorial!

[mcduty]

Brilliant tutorial explains alot of what i am having to read 4 huge book's for college course thanks

[TWlSTEDCINEMA]

Anyone noticed this guy has Minecraft?

[erikPec]

Umm, when I try to run it eclipse gives me launch errors. How do I save and launch it on the console from eclipse? Please answer.

[derekbanas]

@erikPec What version of Eclipse are you using? The Eclipse IDE for Java Developers should run without a hitch. What errors do you see?

[erikPec]

@derekbanas When I try to run, it gives me two options; applet or application, of course asking what it wants me to run it as. When I choose applet I get this, "Selection does not contain an applet" and when I try to run as application it prompts me with "Selection does not contain a main type". I'm doing everything right and double checking from what you're doing on the video but I can't get it to run on console. I'm using eclipse SDK 4.2. Please help!

[derekbanas]

@erikPec Make sure you have Eclipse IDE for Java Developers

[erikPec]

@derekbanas I got IDE. I got indigo, then Europa, and a lot of other names. All that I'm trying is giving me the same errors from what I said before. Is there anything I could do? Maybe tell me how to give it a main class? Please help, I really want to be able to execute my work so I can check over it for any problems etc.

[derekbanas]

@erikPec Just copy and paste the code directly from my website newthinktank. It sounds like you don't have a main function. I show how to make one in this tutorial. It's public static void main...

[PraxiaDesign]

@erikPec Eric, make sure that you right click the src folder under your project folder and create the file in that folder/directory. So, right-click folder "src", select "new", then select "file". Then code the program the exact same as before, and it should run successfully. Hope that helps.

[rotemss1]

Thank you my friend =]

One of the best Tut's on YouTube.

Helped a lot!

Subscribed and Liked =]

[derekbanas]

@rotemss1 Thank you. That is very much appreciated :)

[SamuelLockyer]

Your videos are such a lovely way to ease in to a daunting endevour! These couped with some definitive books will lead to some brilliant Java developers! :)

Thank you for creating these, I look forward to watching the whole series!

[derekbanas]

@SamuelLockyer Thank you :)

[alexgidge]

Definitely the best tutorials on YouTube!

[derekbanas]

@alexgidge Thank you. I try to live up to to your high standards

[robotworkz]

:o i just saw minecraft

[ComputerTech456]

Thenks Dereck, I really hope you finish this Java series. Don't be those people that start a series and never finish it. Thats when someone unsubscribes.

[derekbanas]

@ComputerTech456 I always go as far as I think I should. I normally cover to much material actually. My Wordpress Development tutorial went much longer than expected with over 50 videos

[ComputerTech456]

@derekbanas See now that's good, 50 videos of information on wordpress that really helps a lot of people. I am not saying make 50 videos on Java because each one of your videos not just 6 minuets, there 10 to 20 minuets, so make a series of 15 to 20. P.S Sorry if that sounded rude and pushy, I just really want to learn.

[derekbanas]

@ComputerTech456 I know I over did it with the WP tutorials. I'm going to really change it up over the next few weeks. I'll completely cover all of the Java basics through servlets, networking, etc. I'm pondering whether I'll make any Minecraft mods because of all the requests. Then I'll be bouncing between programming tutorials and other completely different subjects

[JeffParker45]

@derekbanas You did not overdue the WordPress videos. You have no idea how much your videos have helped me, and continue to help me out today.

Thank You Derek.

[derekbanas]

@JeffParker45 Thank you! I'm actually working on a highly customizable theme that works on ever device and browser. As soon as it's done I'll give it to you guys for free of course :)

[JeffParker45]

@derekbanas Sweet!

I customize my Theme a lot with the Thesis Theme for WordPress.

All the SEO and the custom Hooks with the Php.

But your system I find more streamlined once I learn more.

I also am watching your JavaScript videos right now.

I have two major projects I'll be bidding on in January, and one of the projects will be a newspaper site.

[derekbanas]

@JeffParker45 My themes are sliced to the bone so they can run as fast as possible. They didn't always play well with every browser though. I've fixed that to a certain extent with my cross browser components, but only hardcore fans have made that connection. I have about 100 hardcore fans by the way :D

[OneCoolDude08]

Hey Derek, my name isn't Internet! ;-)

[4341015]

[MacXcode]

WOW!!! Thanks A Million!!!

[derekbanas]

@MacXcode You're welcome a million :)

[bizzwoofer]

You will make me rich with your bountiful and beautiful knowledge! <3 can't thank enough - you would make an amazing teacher if u aren't already!

[derekbanas]

@bizzwoofer Thank you for that. I love to teach which I think everybody can tell because I do it for free. My goal is to cover every subject imaginable and not just programming

[bizzwoofer]

@derekbanas your video about tax/income distribution in the u. s. was very illuminating and awesome! It has sparked a curiosity and is very good, so also thaks for that. I hope to blog and share quality info on important issues like that as my knowledge grows, again thanks! :)

[8961rohit]

[wazes2011]

You put a lot of work into your tutorials, thank you so much.

[derekbanas]

@wazes2011 Thank you :) I'm glad you like them

[99LethalEuphoria99]

Oh and thanks for the awesome tutorials =]

[99LethalEuphoria99]

When did you learn all of these languages? and how many languages do you know?

[derekbanas]

@99LethalEuphoria99 I started using Java in 1994. I've been programming for 25 years. I know most every non-.NET language, but I'm sure I could learn those easily as well

[Admiral3131]

Awesome video! Thanks

[derekbanas]

@Admiral3131 I'm glad you found it useful. I'm going slow, but in the end you'll completely understand Java
