1
00:00:00,090 --> 00:00:02,009
Congratulations, you're done.

2
00:00:02,370 --> 00:00:04,260
Boy, that was quite the ride, wasn't it?

3
00:00:04,860 --> 00:00:10,590
If you followed along that every workbook, every challenge and every quiz, you can confidently label

4
00:00:10,590 --> 00:00:12,420
yourself a Java programmer.

5
00:00:13,110 --> 00:00:16,350
Before we say our final goodbyes and I'm not crying, you are.

6
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:22,410
Anyways, whatever you end up going into, whether it's web development, mobile development, automation,

7
00:00:22,650 --> 00:00:26,400
whatever project you're working on, I want you to keep these things in mind.

8
00:00:26,850 --> 00:00:31,950
Always read the requirements first, then organize your code around objects.

9
00:00:31,950 --> 00:00:35,070
You can never go wrong with object oriented programming.

10
00:00:35,850 --> 00:00:41,250
Please, checkpoint throw unchecked exceptions in your constructors and your methods to make sure that

11
00:00:41,250 --> 00:00:46,860
your classes are being used correctly, and in the event that the exceptions do get thrown, handle

12
00:00:46,860 --> 00:00:47,160
them.

13
00:00:47,490 --> 00:00:50,330
That's how you can make your app reliable and bulletproof.

14
00:00:51,180 --> 00:00:54,960
Find meaningful behavior to test and test all of it.

15
00:00:55,290 --> 00:01:00,990
Unit testing is the best way to avoid bugs, and if you do get bugs, use breakpoints.

16
00:01:01,260 --> 00:01:02,400
Debug the runtime.

17
00:01:02,410 --> 00:01:03,180
Don't panic.

18
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,459
This code is amazing for debugging.

19
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:13,070
And last but not least, don't copy and paste code, leverage code reusability with inheritance and

20
00:01:13,070 --> 00:01:13,970
polymorphism.

21
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,880
It's really been my pleasure teaching you, I have interacted with so many of you on this court and

22
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:26,250
it brings me a lot of joy when you share your successes or even when you share your excitement about

23
00:01:26,250 --> 00:01:29,490
the course or projects that you're doing that are relevant to it.

24
00:01:29,730 --> 00:01:35,820
So feel free to keep in touch on Discord if you ever have any questions about material or about careers.

25
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:41,370
And I think I've run out of things to say, I really hope you're proud of yourself, and I hope you

26
00:01:41,370 --> 00:01:44,280
give the final capstone project your best effort.

27
00:01:44,790 --> 00:01:51,090
In any case, this will be my last time speaking to you, so I sincerely wish you the best of luck in

28
00:01:51,090 --> 00:01:52,820
the capstone and in life.
