Bing! {light goes on}

This is the first time that I have found the concept of generics has been communicated clearly. Thanks.

Great explanation.

Whatup!!!

A simple, clear, understandable explanation. I wish he would have taught CS at my college.

One thing that bothered me: The interviewer kept saying 'yea', 'yep', ect while Anders spoke.
My advice: just let the Anders answer the question uninterrupted, otherwise it is distracting. I noticed the same thing during the previous museum video

One does not thank logic

anders explains generics in front of a backdrop which reads "Your Potent ass"! the significance is obvi Wink

Frankie Fresh
.NET Developer and so much more.

Ahhh. Now the purpose of generics is clear. For some reason, I prefer sound byte explanations to complex questions. Must be an election year Wink

Sorry 'bout that. I'm working on pretending like I'm an android and not interacting at all with the people whom I ask questions. I'll get better at it.

I'm the video guy

Charles: yup!

Dang it's hard to keep quiet during interviews, isn't it? Plus, when Anders is talking it sure is natural to agree with him.

Very nice. Boxing and Run-time type casting is a huge pain, I particularly dislike it when I'm running through an ArrayList of objects and as soon as I test out the code, I get an exception. Thank you, oh, thank you for Generics.
