i've been looking in to many of the books and internet sources about the java programming. most of them were not as simple as his explains.the way he explains about the concept of java its simply one of the best i've seen so far. thank you for your effort and bless you sir!! #salute

Thank you Stanford, Sequoia Capital and Mehran for making this excellent material available for the benefit of advancing knowledge for everyone.

@Hetan Thakkar I think Karel will have a lot of candy to pick up at the end of the semester. He's probably depressed like Marvin from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Love these lectures; He has a clear voice; explains all his code to the audience; and is funny. I will definitely be spending the next 25 hours watching the rest of your lectures!
So I switch my major from Computer Engineering to Computer Science and in CpE we took C++, digital Logic, all the engineering maths, etc. but I didn't learn Java like the first year CS students usually do. So I'm taking a class called "Software Engineering Principles" and I really need to learn this language before I start. Thanks standford for the free lessons and sorry at everyone at my uni who had to pay to learn this lmfao
I got stuck for hours in the Checkerboard problem of Assignment No.1. It was so satisfying to overcome that roadblock and I'm more than ready to venture into this lecture. Thank you for your wise words and sense of humor, Professor Mehran! You are a great guide for us newbies.
it takes me only 2 evenings to finish 4 lectures. This is the best course I've ever watched! Really, if I visit Stanford University in the future, I will find Proffesor Mehran for sure :)
I have no background in a class like this - my undergrad was in Spanish and Psychology. But I really enjoy this class! Thank you so much for putting this online for free Stanford! and thanks Mehran!
I'm currently learning javascript and its libraries like react.js and node.js so basically what interests me is the software engineering methods that Mahren shows in his lectures and i think he is really good at teaching that.
Wow, I like how he used that Heirarchy example of biology. Made it so simple to understand. Wish they did that 4 months ago at my Java classes in the Netherlands.
Brilliant lectures! I'm about to start my Computer Science degree and these lectures are really starting to give me the feel of things. Thanks for uploading!
Mehran, Currently I'm a freshman in college and my professors are knowledgeable but they don't make classes half a interesting a you. I watched all four lectures without yawning. Thank you Mehran and Stanford for doing this.
Im really liking these lessons, I can understand everything I do, and I really wanted to learn java programing, not to mention I really like this teacher. Thank you Stanford :D
Actually the first ever computer humanity retrieved was found at Greece. Search youtube for the Antikethera computer. Again, Many thanks to Stanford and Mr Sahami for their brilliant work.
@@saidhussain5706 He refers to the term "stepwise refinement" in Lecture 3 (last part with he talks about decomposition, top down design and bottom up design"
I have a Chinese professor who is admittedly very smart, yet very ineffective in teaching the core concepts. She races through each lecture making sure to hit every single point without fail. I'm not bashing any foreign speakers, but when your audience speaks a different language than your native tongue, please slow down to ensure everyone is on the same page.
he is a best lecturer, dont matter where he from, whether iran, afganistan, pakistan, israiel, india, just listen, his country, his religion is not our concern
If you go to the stanford course website there are starter files for the assignments which have the acm jars. Also helps to use the version of eclipse they provide.
Eclipse is not a compiler -.- Yes I know it's more of a beginners course, but this is misleading. Eclipse is an IDE, which uses the Java-Compiler. And as far as I remember the JVM is written in C.
Bombsquad85 The prerequisite for this course was to be able to recognize whether a computer was on or off. So commenting about terms like IDE, JVM and C isn't helping anyone here. (You saying that the JVM is written in C doesn't explain anything.)
Technically he said Eclipse is doing the compiling for you. That doesn't necessary mean eclipse is the compiler. Eclipse is assisting you in the compilation process.
well Eclipse does the compiling when you press the run button, so as far as the user is concerned you can very well say that eclipse is the compiler, since that is 1 of it's functions
if you guys are following along on the videos, dont ask questions they arent at yet. Try to treat it like an actual class, and just learn! BTW Thank you for the videos :D
@Uvthenfuv The term you're looking for is IDE, which stands for Integrated Development Environment. Eclipse is an IDE because it bundles a number of useful tools for application development into one program.
@joaomrpereira actually eclipse has its own java compiler, independent of javac. So you can compile java programs using eclipse with only the java runtimes. To prove this to yourself, compile using eclipse compiler from commandline, from eclipse plugin folder copy org.eclipse.jdt.core.XXX.jar to your java code folder. For ease of typing rename eclipse compiler jar to ejc.jar. To compile your .java using eclipse compiler, from cmd.com> java -jar ecj.jar -cp .;acm.jar myprogram.java
6:50 talking about what computers are going to be coming out and the iPhone was released only a month earlier in June 2008. Not a big computer and I'm not an Apple fanboy but it was significant but I can see how at the time it may have been overlooked or not even noticed only the week of its release, literally! iPhone released June 29, 2008 this video July 2, 2008.
Not sure if any one still reads or follows along here but it would be cool if a group of us could meet every once in a while to discuss and go over problems, just a suggestion, email me or message me if your interested,
hey guys how far along have you made it? right now I am just on lecture 7 and doing assignment 2 and working on the exercises in chapter 4 of the art and science of java. Do either one of you have Skype or something like that?
Darren Allen i'm still on lecture 5, just stuck trying to get first example programs work..technical issues and don't have where to ask so trying to figure it out first..
DREASAK are you talking about the problems in the book "the art and science of java? I have made it to chap4 in the programming exercises and am working on #11. If you wanna shoot me an e mail with the problem to see what is happening I would be happy to check it out. My e mail is darren24allen@hotmail.com.
When he shows the console program at 36:00, he says that he imports only acm.program.*, but if were to have a graphics program he would have to import acm.graphics.* also. However, if graphics is a subclass of program (as shown previously in his hierarchy diagram), then shouldn't the importing of program.* be enough for both console programs and graphics programs?
Yes, but it's not a good idea to import classes that you don't need in your program, because it takes some time and resources to import a class, so if you only need acm.graphics from acm, there's no reason to import acm.program too. (In this simple program, that wouldn't be a big resource waste, but still)
First of all I would like to say that I cant get enough of these videos. Mehran is an excellant professor, made me wish I had gone to Stanford. I would like to know how to get my created worlds to show up in eclipse. I saved the world in its own folder and restarted eclipse and then tried to import it but all I get is the folder but not the java file to import. what am i doing wrong.
Hm... 29:00 I don't think this exists anymore. Was this video created before Oracle bought "Java", which I presume was maintained by the ACM before that? I know I can google this but I'm just wondering. Also can someone link me a more up to date diagram of the class hierarchies or are they stil the same as the diagram shown in the video?
You have to download and install the libraries from the class website I believe, I'm not fully following the assignments though so I don't know for sure. see.stanford.edu/Course/CS106A
So I finished watching the lectures weeks ago and the professor gets into REAL Java at the end of the course (I think 2nd to last lecture).

@@enisten Hey, thanks for the feedback. So what you are suggesting is that he should've given more technical details rather than saying "you get everything at that level, not underneath", even in such a beginner level CS course?
I'm having trouble with Eclipse constantly crashing. When I created Add2Integers.java (or any other java class), and imported say, acm.program, it crashes within minutes. Does anyone know why?
No he is correct -- the subclasses inherit from the superclasses. You're thinking about abstract classes, where blank methods are given in the superclass then actually defined in the subclasses.

I'm so obsessed with his lectures. Simply amazing. Truly he is blessed with teaching skill. Thanks SU for sharing this video.
Prof. Sahami is an excellent instructor and we are so lucky to be able to see his classes worldwide. Fascinating!
Awesome teacher!
he is the best lecturer throughout my 24-year-life. Why don’t you @unimelb have professors like this?😔
Do they pass the candy to correct student when it hits an incorrect student?
Finally someones asking the important questions.
yes
@Hetan Thakkar I think Karel will have a lot of candy to pick up at the end of the semester. He's probably depressed like Marvin from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
@Hetan Thakkar Yes, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams.
The second the class ends people stand up and leave, god damn it, let him finish the friggin sentence even if you "lose" a minute of your time.
Yeah except at american universities they treat you like a little kid and punish you with tardies if you're late for your next class
Love these lectures; He has a clear voice; explains all his code to the audience; and is funny.

lol Java is not bad. Was C++ hard?
if i have seen further, it is by standing on YOUR shoulders professor Mehran. thank you for making your education available and free (and fun) to all.
I got stuck for hours in the Checkerboard problem of Assignment No.1.
It was so satisfying to overcome that roadblock and I'm more than ready to venture into this lecture.
Thank you for your wise words and sense of humor, Professor Mehran! You are a great guide for us newbies.
Hey Jaime, do you mind to share your solutions to Checkerboard problem? I am doing it but having a difficulty. :(
I sent you an IM, did you get it?
I had a little bit problem with it too, but finnaly I solved it, I don't know is it right, but it works fine for me pastebin.com/Hw12Fz1G

I never though I will be addicted by this kind of videos, man, it`s so easy to understand from this "golden" professor!
Finally! someone actually teaching java in a way you can understand!
this professor is a good example of how all professors of University might be fantastic!!!!
you are fantastic professor , at this moment Im proud to be an iranian.
I love this teacher, he talks loud (GOOD THING) and he's funny
Just wanted to say: This guy is really good at teaching! Give him a raise or something.

"Hey, Eduardo, you went through the blastula stage. Good times." Best quote of the video.
I Really Like The Video From Your Professor Sahami moves into the history of computing and introduces the program Java.
what a great way to have such open source for everyone. Outstanding public relations!
Great lectures. Thanks Mr Professor and thanks Stanford. You truly are a class
@ 21:26 *"Let me put in terms that you'll understand. You're a human being right? And if you're not, come talk to me. It wouldn't be the first time!"*
Another great lesson! You can easily see how much energy this teacher has.
Wow, I like how he used that Heirarchy example of biology. Made it so simple to understand. Wish they did that 4 months ago at my Java classes in the Netherlands.
it's not sad, it's natural. That's what make guys like you so valuable comparing to millions of those who prefer stupid videos
very usefull stuff.. i tired to get candy by asking questions to my monitor.. but no dice.. anyone?

I was actually in the class you can see me in lecture one, believe me professor Sahami taught me very well!
Loving this lecture series. Excellent way of explaining Computer Science and programming.
Byebye Karel, I have been programming for many years but you did teach me some important things like refinement.
What is this

Great Professor & Great Course .. thanks Stanford
Excellent Teaching on object-oriented programming using Java classes
Amazing the change in computers in about 40 years...
All study of Java starts from this lecture
This teacher is awesome. I wish I had such an energetic lecturer.
"Source code" Know it, Learn it, Live it, Love it
Every lecture should be recorded, its a crime that information is kept secret.
great lectures Mehran Sahami!
thanx! made programming a lot easier for me!
