as the old saying goes, Java is similar to Javascript like car is similar to carpet

Coming from java and starting to learn javascript i feel a lot more insecure. Dont ask me why, but i feel like driving a car without doors

[@oksanaserhiivna2634]

That's a hilarious comparison! :)

Its just a Jeep bro

[@kiroclifford2647]

It's like Having a Jeep with doors then removing those doors with you're new upgrade. (Don't like seeing jeeps without doors irl lol)

Coming from JavaScript and learning Java, I feel like I'm being shoved into a box, and every time I try to wriggle myself out of the box I just get shoved back into a smaller box than before

[@genjimccorkle5518]

Thats because you are.

[@addacdd]

this whole time I been studying JS I thought Java was in the same family. I got bamboozled...... Bazzinga

[@AetherCS2]

This was very informative thank you. I was trying to get ahead before next semester and learn Java, but I didn't realize there were Java and Javascript.

Java : Javascript :: Ham : Hamster Java : Javascript :: Car : Carpet Java : Javascript :: Pain : Painting JAVA AND JAVASCRIPT ARE NOT SIMILAR EXCEPT THAT THEY ARE PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES!

[@alexlegoG]

Great and informative video! As a Java beginner I understood more about it. One important note I would have added is to speak about the fact that Java is multithreaded while JavaScript is single-threaded. This is especially important because working with threads is an important aspect in programming.

[@swiggageovanni.]

good video. i found it through the code academy pro school. i am starting the learn javascript class today. lets win

[@millanferende6723]

This, is an excellent comparison. With some humor. I love it. It is perfectly clear to me now!

[@keshi5541]

Javascript (excluding nodejs framework) = frontend Java = backend basically.

[@brandonmathieu1892]

just started as a Business Analyst on a dev team working in the banking industry. My team uses React, node.js, backbone.js, angular.js, bootstrap css, rest api, and soap api --- that's most of the stack that I know of... to be fair, the online banking uses a client server framework where users connect to the client server via rest api.... but then several layers of servers help protect the more sensitive stuff -- and those upstream systems are connected to internally via soap api.

[@AnitaPatel-mq2fp]

This was very informative. Thank you.

[@sushanthkotyan4737]

10:53 Java is synonymous with web development, at least on the server side (Spring MVC, Servlets, JSP etc.)

[@killerdroid99]

only the backend tho idk if it can be used with wasm like c++

[@Pnwingpro]

Wonderful presentaion. I am a beginner just learning about this world. Thank you!!

[@oscarzelada9107]

Very detailed. Thanks a lot.

[@g0dsf3ar71]

I decided to learn coding like 7 seconds ago so a lot of it was over my head, but still I was able to parse the important bits together and figure out that I need to learn syntax for any language before anything else.

[@MasterAless]

Before learning any "Syntax of any programming language" it could be awesome to learn first the fundamentals of programming, that'd help you even better to understand any existent syntax (Since they follow fundamental concepts)

[@happyhedgehog6450]

Now I don't know Java, but from what I'm seeing, it seems so impractical because of the sheer amount of code needed to write what could be done in a single line in something like Javascript or Python.

What is the link between Java and mips simulator

[@toddturner2715]

At 4:05, you say "Now on the flip side of the deal, Sun Microsoft agreed because it saw the Internet and web browsers as a potential future platform for Java apps." What is Sun Microsoft??? What this a misspeak? What this an editing error? I am confused.

[@toddturner2715]

OK, found obvious clarification from a comment below. Misspeak. Sun Microsystems. And Thanks! Very nice video. I very much appreciate the context of the history. It is as valuable to my understanding as is the technical comparison.

has anything changed?

[@ouimetco]

At 5:46 you show the problem for javscript and why java is so superior. Especially if a user has no clue and alters these variables. All kinds of strange problems would occur and we extremely difficult to find. Cheers

[@Bhargav-nr3dn]

Best example DONUT AND DORITOS

[@BenSalvacion]

You know what the funny thing is? Technically YOU just did a comparison :D I guess the best approach is what are the limitations for java and javascript = cause if one can perform the others function then I guess on a modern approach javascript is more valuable in the future (easy syntax, less prone to coding mistakes, faster,) Correct me if I am wrong... :D

[@margiby]

Maybe the video is good, but I am on maximum of Volume and hear almost nothing. But from comments I see that these languages are very different

[@souljarohill8795]

Gonna learn Java first then Javascript due to it sounding like Java will be harder first

[@holstice7073]

Java is like a mold of cement, it hardens and gets stronger over time while Javascript decays over time and needs to be taken care of, javascript is flexible. but it sounds vulnerable.

[@peterpikant751]

thats pretty good tbh
