Free Video podcasts/Tutorials for Java beginner

Question

Can someone list a few Video tutorials/podcasts for Java and J2ME?

Thanks

Answer 1

I generally found the podcasts Parley's or InfoQ to be helpful. Anything from Joshua Bloch or Neal Gafter (even though they disagree about closures) to be of top notch quality.

Answer 2

I've never seen one that is oriented towards just "Teaching Java" but I think it's a great idea.

After you evaluate the answers here, please post what meets your needs and what is missing. I've always thought it would be fun to do a video podcast where you start with simple syntax and go through OO design, refactoring, patterns, etc. Basically just teach core java in a podcast.

If that's what you are after and you don't find it, be sure to reply to this message. This is the one podcast I've considered doing--and I've been thinking about doing it for years, I just wasn't sure it would be of value.

If you are after general java info--JavaPossee rocks.

Answer 3

VTC has a video series on Java. I don't think it's free though.

Answer 4

Stanford's Youtube Channel has a very good introductory Course on Java
