Starting with the download and installation of the JDK (Java Development Kit), this video tutorial will teach you the different typs of variables (bool, int, etc), what an operator is and how to use it (+,-,%,etc). You will learn about object-oriented programming, and creating classes and objects. You will control your programs with different types of control loops such as while and for, as well as making decisions with if-else statements. Each chapter is capped of with exercises so you can put in to practical use, what you learn in each section. By the completion of this instructional video course, you will have the base knowledge that you need to create functional and useful Java programs.

    "Learning To Program With JAVA - The Basics" - by Donnie on 19-SEP-2011

    The learning program was good, but could have been better. The author rushed through sections as though in a race to finish. Some concepts that required more thorough explanations and perhaps diagrams were described in a short and incomplete fashion. Diagrams are powerful when depicting the relationships among classes, objects, constructors, super-classes, polymorphism, abstractions, interfaces, etc. I resumed training on a subsequent day and was lost because the author continued the discussion on drawing classes/methods used in polymorphism and abstractions with revisiting the original methods. (Again, diagrams would have been superb.) Finally, I was annoyed at the mispronouncing of the word "height".
