Video

Thanks for the feedback! I have several more videos coming on the other scrum ceremonies. Stay tuned!

Awesome! I'm glad it helped. While logging is often an afterthought during development, it's crucial during rollout to production, and support. I hope you're building something awesome!

Totally agree! It's easy to end up with countless orphan branches. Best to delete them, if they serve no other purpose.

Thanks! This is one of my favorite concepts. ;)

Thanks for the note! Huh... Good thought! I'll confess, I've mostly been a Java/Kotlin developer, not so much C. Though all languages have the concept of static. The concept of remember in Kotlin was a bit tricky for me, as I do not know of another good analogy in computer programming. Perhaps you've found one. Tell me more: what similarities do you see with a static in C?

Thanks so much! I really appreciate the feedback! This was one of my favorite videos to record. I ended up making several more videos about Big O algorithm growth as well. Let me know if I can help you find a topic of interest!

@@discospiff I am trying to master DSA to become a better programmer. I an currently exploring DS, will explore algorithms soon. I have an interview in 4 days that I really want to dominate. I will be exploring your channel for related topics

@@james00783 excellent, and great idea! I have a playlist with Data Structures and Algorithms videos only. Have a look, and let me know if you have any questions. I'm happy to help!

Sounds great. Thanks. Any doubt, I'll let you know.

I'm glad you liked it! Knowing how to use GitHub with Visual Studio is powerful for any developer!

Hmmm, OK, I'll double check. I have several more draft videos that I'll be adding to the playlist in the coming month. And thanks again for the hashtag suggestion!

Thanks so much! Though I don't know that I'm thaaaaat good. :)

Thanks! I'm glad you found it helpful. As developers, we sound most of our time fixing issues. Having a good understanding of logging and logging levels is imperative!

Yes, in a way. It's another good project management option, especially for small projects, and skunk work projects with your friends. Naturally, it has tight integration with the GitHub repo itself. It's easy to automate with GitHub, too. But no worries, I have a series of Jira videos that I plan to publish in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!

I have several new videos coming... With beard experiments! Thanks for noticing.

Thanks for the feedback! I have several more GitHub project videos coming this week. Stay tuned!

Thanks! I have several more GitHub project videos coming next week... Including workflow automation. Stay tuned!

Glad to hear, thanks Brandan!

Excellent! Did this video help with coroutines? A confusing, yet important topic. :)

@@discospiff Of course it's helpful.

What was your favorite video?

​@@discospiff Hard question. Gonna go with the Swing section. But the Interfaces section shines with the myriad of Data Structures available. Usually a coder only needs a few methods. Hope you can touch on Oracle's certification process on future series. Not to turn all that into a playlist. Rather a "this is what you need to master to take it to the next level" when it comes to Java.

I mean, I'm mystified by the process.

I'm glad it helped! It's a tricky concept, so I think a good example helps to understand it. ;)

Thanks. I have a few videos I'm going to post in the coming weeks where I do some wild beard experiments!

Yeah, probably a few ways to handle this one. My concept: - "Given that plant data are available" means that we have plant data that are valid. In other words, "Eastern Redbud" is listed under the proper genus/species, "Cercis canadensis". On second thought, that line alone should probably be part of the precondition, because I don't (yet) state that the data will contain an Eastern Redbud. - "When the user searches for Redbud" - OK, given the data feed above, the user filters by Eastern Redbud. - "Then the results should contain at least one Eastern Redbud": So we have Redbud as part of a larger data set. When the user filters that data set by Redbud, then the user should see Cercis canadensis Eastern Redbud as a result. Does that help?

I'll confess... It took me a while to understand lambdas. But one you understand them, it's easy to do a lot with just a little code.

And yes... Your second paragraph is a great summary!

@@discospiff It needs some proofreading. One forgets that underneath high level languages, there is assembly code and that CPU function / interruptions use codes and can used data. I wish I was C / C++ instead of PHP.

Excellent! I'm glad you found this. I have a hands-on demo that follows this video. I'll upload it later this week.

Thanks! It's great to be back.

Yes, thanks for the suggestion!

@@discospiff Hope it helps with the views.

This is probably the best suggestion I've ever received on CZcams. Ever since I added tags, the videos are doing better. Thanks friend!

@@discospiff I dont know what is the fancy term: SEO or discoverability. But it helps CZcams classify things and maybe show videos on the main page as suggestions.

LOL... The background for videos was definitely a factor when I chose this apartment. Yet it costs me waaaaaaaay less than the home I used to own.

Thanks! I miss engaging with this audience of awesome people!

Of course! I have a whole playlist. czcams.com/video/O3MqDQWa-Uo/video.html&pp=gAQBiAQB

Outstanding! I'm glad you found the channel. Keep in touch, and let me know your feedback on the videos!

There are mannnnnnnny ways I feel I can maximize my impact on society by being an attorney who specializes in IT. Lawyers tend to be poets, not mathematicians.

Yeah, those videos are mostly from 2020... but still relevant. Why? Keep in mind that organizations spend millions of dollars on software, so they want to make it last for a long time. They don't want to re-write it every time a new technology comes out. So, there are billions of lines of code written in 2020 that still need to be maintained. And... 2020 was a year of heavy investment in IT, as it was pandemic time. Now, we're seeing a lot of cutbacks in IT. So, I think the software written in Java EE will be with us for a while. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!

Awesome! How have you liked Spring so far?

@@discospiff Love it honestly, way less configurations/.xml files is a huge plus for me :D

Don't. Ha ha. :) Thanks so much. This comment makes my day!

@@discospiff ❤❤❤❤

@@discospiff Who doesn't want to be a college professor + professional software engineer?

I believe I can learn something from everyone I meet. The nice thing about CZcams is that we can share our knowledge and grow together. ;)

Thanks for the feedback! This is very helpful, as I try to continuously improve videos. I'll start adding tags. How do you like the collections videos? Any favorites?

@@discospiff I like them all. But sadly I don't to use them a lot in my day job as a PHP coder. When the Interfaces video finished I started to think about dealing with other people's code. Sadly, when you get a lot of spaghetti code what you can do is to refactor all that in a big class with lots of methods. That's when Interfaces can help. You can use interfaces to restrict the functionality that junior coders can access. The Authentication, APIs, I/O to the database, etc. All of that you can separate into ILogin, IGetClientInvoice and IInsertProduct interfaces respectively. Then later maybe move onto smaller classes.

I still struggle with the idea behind Singleton. But I'm reminded of Android where usually you have an init method where you need to initialize some variables or start an animation only once.

Which I was a C/C++/Assembly coder where with pointers and memory addresses you can have super fast access to data. I mean, Java is really fast IIRC. It gets you a environment. But I wish I stuck to C++ from the early college lessons. The pivot to Visual Basic a few semesters after those days wasn't particularly useful. But TBH I wasn't a hard-worker. Good thing there is a good deal of professionals creating free courses. :)

Thanks!

You're welcome! Understanding logging levels is crucial to production support. I'm glad you found the video helpful!

That's my approach, yes. Design what the UI looks like, consider the data, then implement the data in the UI.

Thanks so much! In teaching this for several years, I've found that exceptions are wildly misunderstood. :) I hope this video helped to clear the fog.

Thanks! I'm glad you found the video helpful. I'll confess I'm no expert on authentication, though. :)

@@discospiff I've merged my web app and api into a single .net core web app project and used Identity for authentication and authorization. It works like a charm. Thanks again sir.
