If you’re new to programming but want a career in tech, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND applying to one of Springboard’s online coding bootcamps (use code ALEXLEE for $1,000 off): bit.ly/3HX970h
Hey i dont know if you'll see this but im really thankful for your videos man! I was sort of pressured into giving up my passions in order to pursue a degree in cs. Ngl i was very insecure and miserable but for some reason your videos have actually sparked sth inside me and now im just curious and loving every bit of knowledge i can get from you and other online material. Cant thank you enough. and i hope this doesnt come off weird.
Thank you, yes I was the exact same way. I felt pressure to get good grades, felt miserable, felt like I couldn't do it and that it wasn't for me. I'm glad my experience can help you out too :)
dude same, but I just started liking programming after I realized I can improve my coding skills (which are nonexistent) while making programs for things im passionate about (basketball :) ), Im in SE tho, but kinda same thing
@@sundayconde pretty easy to tell if you're good at something or not, self assess yourself bro. disclaimer though - i never reallly tried improving them and am currently working a tech job which is more data analyst stuff with minimum coding
@@MK-zf6or Im curious about how codes work and I'm tempted to try building projects but so many stuffs to work on, like I don't know where to start or when I get started I'm questioning myself if am I in a right path? I feel like I need a mentor. Seeing these comments of you guys made me realized that I'm not alone that someone was on what my situation right now. Hope I can overcome my struggles rn and step up to be better what I am today. Thank you.
You know what Alex? I think what makes your channel popular is that u can ignite the passion of people towards coding by presenting effective ways to gain achievements quickly, people feel good about themselves and that what matters 👍🏻
@@redbutterfly3293 nahh we still study this type of basic java at school every day in the uk. we haven't even touched javafx yet and im in my second year of university already :)
This video makes wayyyy more sense than the way my teacher and textbook. They said to make an inner class that implements the ActionListener interface and then add the functionality to the button, which I found very confusing and not intuitive. Thank you for your videos Alex
I am so grateful I found your channel, I am currently in my first programming job (attended a 16 week crash course as an adult career switcher) so the uphill climb is steep, and your videos make understanding things so digestible. I have tried to search the net for examples of practical things to do with Java such as user interfaces etc etc and never found any solid answers which was leading me to believe that Java was literally just info in the background, but this changes everything as I can now practice with classes and implement them instead of having to add a front end frame work such as React. 😁
I would recommend using WindowBuilder to Design your GUI, it automaticly creates the code in the Project. What the functions and stuff means can be easily researched afterwards. Thats just my way of doing it, coding it by yourself sure helps but well it is more work as well.
Your videos are explicit Alex. I got D+ in java in college cux I did not understand a thing from the instructor. But with u, I understand everything as if u are right before me. I am definitely enrolling your classes soon! From west Africa, Liberia
I remember watching this way back lol. On 70k subs now! You deserve it, great explanation, hence why I've found myself coming back to this video just to polish up lol. Probably the best programmer tutorial on RU-vid I prefer these short, sweet, simple and straight to the point type videos, rather than them 2,3 hour long tutorials lol, just my preference I guess since I've been familiar with Java for a while.
honestly thank you. Your the only person on youtube that makes java tutorials that people can actually understand. You deserve wayyy more subs. Keep at it
Hi Alex, great fan of your java tutorials. Can you do a video on connecting a java GUI to a database like mysql please? That would be very appreciated. Keep up the good work 👏👏
Thank you Alex. You made everything in java easier to understand. Whenever I'm confused about some sections from textbook, I go to your videos and you got most of it. You helped me a lot so I didn't skip any seconds in your videos including Ads.
Learned more in 13 minutes than I did in school 🔥 BTW, are you familiar with Codename One? It’s very similar to Swing but on steroids.. What do you think of it?
Exellent vid my dude, its great that you explained it in a way so that even people who havent touched java could understand it. Ive done java at uni for a while, but even so its helpful having someone explain things as simple as the creation of global variables cos it just heightens your understanding of why thats what you should use. ty guy ty
Bro your channel is the only one that helped me to learn more and create a small project by my own..Thank you for that. If you cover File streams, Event Handling and all too , it will be very helpful
Hey man, I understand you don't make java videos anymore, but these have been really helpful. I wish the online Java classes I take made it as clear as you do.
@@ai.201 Well, I'm new to Java too, but I've done some research, and most people recommend Javax over Swing, considering Swing is old. So, I would say go with Javax, but go ahead and do your research, see which one fits you better.
Bro you and Mosh helped me soooo much without you I always thought I could never learn java and could even run if statements you guys helped me so much appreciate it!
I just started programming and let me tell you, your videos are so helpful. I didn't take IT in school so watching your vids is really helping me cover the basics of programming.
J’ai cherché une vidéo pareille pendant une journée entière et enfin je trouve la tienne qui explique vraiment bien 👍🏾. C’est formidable je te remercie 🙏🏾
I know that you are trying to keep it basic as much as possible but I think you should mention that using if inside actionPerformed method just to give people more useful knowledge. Also if there's any person who is new to java swing I recommend declaring everything under public class but over contructor just to not to have that "label issue" he had and be able to set varaibles accesibility easier in the future. Good luck for everyone
I have been watching your videos on Java for a year now and it made things easier to understand! Before I start reading my java textbook, I always watch your videos first. Thank you so much!
I watched this video because I just learned about applets in school and I made a penguin applet and now I wanted more knowledge on applets because they are really fun to make. Thanks for this
I dont find any good tutorial but i found this video on my recommendation, ngl this is the best java gui tutorial than the other java gui tutorial, thanks a lot ❤️
he makes some of the worst videos he just assumes that his viewers know the stuff already , but they don't i just wasted my time learned just to copy and type and become angary
There are some people who watch your videos then start there own course! Like People at FunTech, they taught me a few things in 10 days, which you taught me in a day!
That's all fine if you love boilerplate code but it's hardly a competitor to the RAD of Visual Studio or Delphi with their component palettes where you drop graphical items onto an actual form and then just get on with the form and application logic coding.
@@tuz6820 JavaFX is newer and better, but Oracle cut it out of the Java library. It is more difficult to incorporate it into a Java program. For simple GUI's, you might as well stick with Swing, as it's still part of the Jaba library.
Many programs still use Swing, so if you want to become professional Java programmer, you should know Swing too in case you need to maintain or add functionality to older programs that use Swing. Otherwise yes, you should use javafx for new programs.
I've been brushing up on my Java with Codecademy for the past couple of weeks and I've noticed that none of their lessons even touch on this sort of thing. I know that Java is used in a wide variety of applications, but none of the "lessons" really educate the student on how to *_apply_* the knowledge in GUI situations; we just output to a console. I mean...ok, so now I know how to declare variables, the different types, how to create methods, classes, arrays, loops, etc...but how do I *_apply_* this? Java is used to create programs and apps that rely on GUIs for user interaction, so teaching us how to write Java without teaching us how to apply it is a bit like teaching someone how to operate the turn signal switch on a car but not teaching them the context in which it's used. Maybe I'm biased because my first "language" was HTML and having learned the basics back in the mid-90s, I've been accustomed to being able to "refresh" the browser and see my changes in real-time, so there was always this direct connection between the code and the visuals it's associated with.
