Thanks! I'm always nervous I might be a bit too silly with stuff like this video has, but putting it in makes me happy. So I hope others enjoy it as well.
@@CodingWithJohn The vids are explained in a very ez and understanding manner. It's just your style. Silly or not some people will like it, others won't. Don't worry about people's opinions. Love the vids!
Thank you, John. I'm still in school and constantly feel like I know nothing, but watching your videos and genuinely learning something makes me feel slightly better lol. Thank you for what you do.
Hi John, loving your videos. I am a senior Java Developer too and your explanations help me reaffirm my understanding and most of the time declutter my misunderstanding. You are excellent at what you do. Request you to consider a course on Design Patterns. Ty!
John, love your content, i'm primarily self taught and want to turn this into a career after my current obligations. I had some ideas i'd love to see from you, one being for people like myself, of which there are many, is a video detailing many of things that get overlooked when self taught, for example, how array lists and linked list differ performance wise (This isn't the best example but hopefully you get the idea), there are lots of things overlooked when getting from point A to point B being self taught and it could be really useful. A more simple idea i would love to see is a video teaching use about bitwise operators and how they are used and work, or maybe a video talking more about bigger picture things like using version control with git and team environments, love the content, keep it up!!!
a part of gc that i find interesting is WeakReference and SoftReference, which indicate to the gc that although this object is referenced it can still be collected now or whenever you really need to free the space
With so much gratitude I want to appreciate papa-dora on RUclips for showing up in my life at the right time. I have been down with HSV for almost a year, coming across papa dora RUclips channel and purchasing his medication was the best news of my life. Thank you doctor
Thank you for the video! Could you create another one focusing on RestTemplate and WebClient? I'm aware RestTemplate is being phased out, but could you explain the reasons behind it?
Hi John. I love your vids. I even subscribed to your course which has helped me immensely. I have a request.. Can you maybe do videos on JavaFX too? Thank you so much ! Meow!
So if I just created an object but never assigned that object to a variable, that means to a reference in memory, that object would get garbage collected basically immediately?
Yep, it would at least be eligible! If your whole line of code was just: new Cat(); It's immediately unreachable. It wouldn't necessarily go away immediately because GC works in batches, but in the next round of collection it would definitely be gone.
You can suggest that the garbage collector run by calling System.gc();, but this doesn't guarantee it will actually do it. I've never had to do this in my entire career, I've always been able to rely on the garbage collector to do its job without any management.
My friend John why don't you make a video to discuss the racism that Back End Developers receive from the the stupid Front Ends because many like me are declined day by day. I have been declined as well but I don't care about that because to make ends meet I started youtube but anyways Front End dev's thinking is annoying from personal XP
If you want a broad strategy on how to generally write more performant code in Java, that can be summed up into a single sentence: "Use Javas built-in tools as much as possible, and make sure you research that its intended use matches what you're doing with it". The problem with a question so broad is that every instance of 'optimizing performance' is a unique type of problem and would require just as many videos. If you look at Johns catalogue you will find many videos that touch on individual problems and the considerations when optimizing them. But he doesn't have infinite videos. Say you're trying to optimize a custom sort on an array of json objects, are you trying to optimize for execution speed or memory management? Both are different types of performance. Both will have different considerations and may be done entirely differently. Optimizing a custom sort of a different type of object might also have its own set of approaches for either speed or memory. But back to my first point, if there is a built-in Java object type or method meant to do the thing you are trying to do, it is a more mature solution than your custom sorter would be. It will likely be reasonably efficient with both speed and memory, and will catch more edge-cases and have more informative errors for them than a custom solution.
Don't use Java for performance critical code. Outside of that, it's about the same as for every other managed language: make use of the library and write simple code. Performance is generally good enough and it prevents you from shooting yourself in the foot. If that's not good enough, really, don't use the JVM.
I had some questions about garbage collection and multithreading for java in an interview. This video opened my mind about java. I was thinking like, Oh, i know java. But there is much to learn i guess. Thanks a lot!
plz answer me. i just finished java course with oop and data structures and when i go back to old subjects i feel that i forget it and i learn it again to memories it so plz tell what should i do. spend time on leetcode or learn spring boot and build projects because i want to be java backend developer
Alex lee is another youtuber who taught me many things and bro code as well but I cannot see the stupid front end languages surge on the market why is that????
Once upon a time, I had some colleagues who believed that setting a variable to null somehow "helped" the garbage collector. It was difficult to convince them that it was all superstition, and that no, it wasn't doing anything. Sometimes, the smartest minds are also the dumbest.
I often heard garbage collection but hadn't understood it's mechanism at all. It doesn't affect my Java coding much to learn fundamental concept, But I think it will help me code properly. Your videos very easy and helpful to understand fundamental concept about programming for beginner. many thanks!
I was just recommended this video about Java Garbage Collection, and I don't even use Java, but let me give you some advice: Learn the fundamentals, they may not make much sense for you now, but boy they will save your ass down the line
Devil's advocate here: If we still have to set `ptr = null;` to make it (eventually) free the memory, from the programmer's perspective how is that anyhing more convenient than writing `free(ptr);` or `delete ptr;` as we do in C/C++ ? What problem does it solve? How is this anything different from manual memory management, except for introducing more runtime overhead?
Hello John, hello everyone; please I’m a computer science student who really wants to go into programming but I’ve still not figure out what aspect to go into; is Java a good place to start, can we create software with java? Pls I need y’all contributions and advice Thank you Btw, I wish to be a software engineer
many thanks for your tutorial clips, but as a beginner I don't know what is the first and what is the last clip, I mean it is better you put a number for each clip so everyone can watch them in order
I am being studying and work with Java very long time , but Only John's video I love the most! Nice video as always. Is that possiable you can talk about Comparator ?

Hello John :) can you please make a video about spring boot? It’s so useful but so confusing still for me :/
Your videos are always a must for me
we need a tutorial about tokners and input/output data please mighty John we rely on you
Thank you John, I was looking for a content regarding GC. I owe you a coffee.
Hey John! I would love to see a video about Ressource bundle :)
Please, more on better memory management!
I love for your videos. where are you? we miss you!. can you make a video about stream and how to use it to filter or map ? thank you
Good to see you again.
Make video about SLL and DLL
Thank you for making this video.
This video could've been alot more complete if it included a short explanation of how does the GC figure out that an object is not referenced anymore.

Would you be able to create videos for other framework GCs as well. For example node.js
That jumpscare :{_-_-_
Great video 😁
Is there a way to free up the space manually if I know that the object wont be used anymore?

Make a video on how to optimize java code's performance!
This is such a generic request, "optimizing Java code" is far too broad of a subject to address
@@guinea_horn if you can direct me to some resources it would be helpful.

Well in the last John is just mimicking the java garbage collector when he sees any new object without any reference
GET IT

I just had the same experience, I felt embarrased in that interview.
Love those first 2 seconds 😂 ❤
In older languages you had to do memory management manually. These high level languages are great imo. 😂

Why not just delete stuff as soon as it goes out of scope? I don't understand the need for the extra complexity.
John you legend, when will you finally go for President?
Do an example of this topic please.
Thank bro, Keep make new videos
Once upon a time, I had some colleagues who believed that setting a variable to null somehow "helped" the garbage collector. It was difficult to convince them that it was all superstition, and that no, it wasn't doing anything.
Sometimes, the smartest minds are also the dumbest.
Usually it's not necessary if the variable is scoped correctly, but it can technically do something!
lol I loved the title of this video
what is your secret ?
Great tutorial John, thank you for the video ! Please keep up with such more complex concepts, you are a great teacher.

Yes Java is a very good language, but you should always start your programming journey with C as it builds basic programming logic

Ideas for new chapters: Future class, jars compilation, working with configurations, Spring
Really a very helpful video and the way of explanation is awesome ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
bonus part is awesome :D
Could you recommend books for java developers
So we're not dissing on Java's Collection framework then?
Does your java course go over recursive methods? Thanks
Thanks John for the wonderful explanation. Cud u pls talk about System.gc() and finalize() methods as well in the next part?
Can you start a playlist on Spring/ Spring Boot... Our guest lecturer is running on a jet RN and ofcourse we can't catch up 🙃

No bs, straight to the point showing us how its done.
Nice, your explanation is awesome, genuinely never understood what garbage collection is. Idk even know what "in memory" really means and where that memory is💀
Is there a way to see all these garbage collection processes in real time whilst programming?
"In memory" meaning data stored in a computers RAM and sometimes ROM. When computers run out of memory it creates an overflow exception.
@@itzdm0r3 cool, I'll check that further out
