Thanks! Yeah there's surprisingly little out there so far. Probably just because it's pretty new.
please never stop making videos, these are so helpful!
Could you do a video on Consumer, Predicate, and Supplier? I mostly understand what they do, but not when to use them.

if you are reading this John, please make this video happen! Thanks!
There is a lot of content like this out there, but you are so much better than the rest in terms of tempo, order, quality and presentation, thank you so much! I started studying CS half a year ago and your videos are 5x quicker at explaining the same thing than my prof. Although sometimes there is some depth missing, but it's good that your videos don't get lost in that, that's what makes it so good. Maybe it would be great if there was a playlist for in depth knowledge as well though.
I am advanced in java but it is great to see someone explain it so concise. Amazing explanation on these types of videos. Keep it up!
Quality, effective, efficient and much appreciated content.
Explained quite clearly with detailed examples. Excellent tutorial! This is what I needed to start working with Records in Java.
At 5:00 you mention that Java generates a default, no-arg constructor *even if* you don't create other constructors. That isn't quite true, Java creates a no-arg constructor *only if* you don't create other constructors. This is why your fields get red underlines as soon as you manually create the no-arg constructor, because there would be a way to have final fields that aren't initialized as soon as the object is created. Before you manually created the no-arg constructor this wasn't a problem, because Java wouldn't generate one since you already had the previous one created.

I don’t get what you mean. I feel like your comment just justified what he said. Or do you think he meant even if you have other constructors Java always generates a default no-arg constructor? I think he just put it there for visuals of a no-arg constructor. Because i got that what you said from the video.

When you create an object of the Class two things happes: 1. MEMORY IS ALLOCATED, 2. THE CONSTRUCOR IS CALLED. By default Java offers a 0 argument construcotrs which are 0 for numeric types, and false for boolean and null. The moment we create our impemtation of constructor ( a constructor which initialize fields) the 0 arg one is no longer called.

True , if you have created just an args-constructor ; You cant created object as : new Employee(); That means Employee class doesn’t have no arg constructor ; You have to create one.
Have been following your videos for a while now. Thank you for the awesome content 😊
Thanks for teaching me more about records, I was always teaching my fellow programmers about this in my workplace.
Thank you so much. This was very helpful and the way you explain things makes it so easy to understand them. Keep up the good work, John!

I like the style of teaching, very clear examples and no bs, earned a sub...
Thanks a lot for doing this tutorial. Clear, easy to follow explanation as always.
Never thought learning Java would be such a pleasure. A decade ago, I was frustrated with the Java Reference book and left learning java and continued with my day job in DB language. Now, I am learning java without any issues with the help of youtube. Thanks to the youtube community.
Thank you, I've always wanted to learn about Records.
awesome as always, thank you for sharing man, I am familiar with records but I'm not aware that I can do specific field validations directly into it, that's very useful thanks man
Keep up with the good work, you’re helping a lot of people 🙏🏻
Hi John. Even when i write Java programs quite a while, i still learn new thing from you. Thank you, you are presenting good Java content. Kind regards, Simon Rozendal.

Hi John, Thank you for your superb content. Me and other group of people from Estonia are learning Java and your channel helps us to understand hard material in a simple way. Could you please make a video tutorial about streams in future? Thank you in advance, Tony
Nice content mate, thanks for share!!!
Wonderful explanation! Thank you! Shorty and clear)
Great explanation !!! Congrats ....
Great video. Especially for those who know the basics and are interested in new Java Features after J11. Keep these up!
You helped me understand concepts that was difficult to understand on my own.
Except for that neat overriding constructor, it seems like Lombok is still a more useful option, unless you can put annotations on the fields declared in record for things like JPA or JSON serialization

what is Lombok?
@ThiagoHenriqueDS

@@Darya-pu6ik It's a library that allows you to use annotations in order to create things like getters, setters, equals methods, etc. For example, instead of write getters and setters you just use the annotation @Data, @Getter or @Setter above a constructor: @Getter @Setter public Car(String color, String name) { }

Lombok is indeed very useful but it still a third party plugin. Java is usually known for its cumbersome syntax but such awesome improvements like records would make java lovers more excited.

Seeing comments like this makes me think other devs are spending a lot of time to generate POJOs/DTOs and that's hardly true. That kind of objects is being written once and the rest 99+% of time is spent for writing business logic, so even with what vanilla java and IDEs are providing I do not see HUGE problem of implementing them without record/lombok. The only exception here is readability, but...do you really often open classes named '*DTO" for reading? I really doubt.
u have the best java keyword's tutorials, ty
Great presentation! Thanks!
Thanks for the Video John! Greetings from Brazil 😉
Thanks alot John. This talk should be included in the official doc.
I thought I knew all about records (and I am using those extensively) but this is the first time I heard about the compact constructor! Thanks a lot!
That's a really good teaching... Thanks 🎉
your videos really help me to focus on Java again :)
Not a Java developer but I have to read Java and Groovy all the time. Your videos are great background to help me understand what I’m looking at. Great stuff.
Amazing bro! Thanks for the info
Perfect tutorial, much appreciated!
Thank you so much , explaination was very nice.
Great episode my man!! 😮😮

Thanks a lot John! Would be there any video about sealed classes? It is also quite cool feature
I've watched all of your videos and they r really really helpful and easy to understand, seriously.. u're an amazing teacher and I wish all success for u and ur channel.

Hey John! If i knew Records before, i would use them in my previous task in my company because they fitted my task perfectly! Thank you for your effort :)
Thank you sooooo much!
Gracias John!!!
Looks like Records are like Lombock. I assume they have the same pitfalls you can run into if you are not careful. But this tutorial was really nice, I haven't touched these yet, but i see for myself already tons of usecases for this. Especially for like singleton function classes, where you have your builder and then the object that executes said code. Keep up the work!

@Speiger, @Will - I personally believe java records and lombok are different features that can be used for different things. Records are similar to Lombok's @Value classess, indeed - but Lombok has a lot of other features to offer and it allows much more flexibility.

Wow that was cool, thank you 😍
This is really similar to records in C#. We don't have compact constructors though. I think compact constructors are really neat.
