Trevor Page teaches you exactly how you would go about implementing a custom sorting algorithm for your Collections or Arrays.  By default, Java has the methods "Collections.sort()" and "Arrays.sort()" to sort your Lists/Arrays for you... but what happens when you want to change the way these methods sort?  Find out in this podcast!

Constructors are used to initialize Objects in Java.  These are not mandatory to use, but anytime you've got an Object that maintains state, you should always think about properly initializing your Object.  The constructor isn't limited to just initializing though, so have a listen and find out what you can do!

Did you know Java allows you to organize all of your files in folders for a "neat" programming environment?  Well it does, so learn all about Java packages in this week's episode of the How to Program with Java podcast.  

This week I will cover the topic of regular expressions in Java.  This topic came as a request from a listener, so I was thrilled to record it for them.  You'll learn everything you need to know to get started with regular expressions, and I even leave you with an assignment for you to do at home!  So let's get to it!  Be sure to check out the shownotes at http://howtoprogramwithjava.com/session16

In this episode of the How to Program with Java podcast, I will be covering the topic of Collections.  What is a Collection in Java?  Some popular examples are: List, Set and Map.  These are all interfaces, so what are the most common implementations of these interfaces?  You'll find out and much more!

In this week's episode of the How to Program with Java Podcast, we talk about the last important piece of Java Exceptions, and that is the "finally" block.  Also, I'll touch on what a Stack is and how it relates to the StackTrace and to Exceptions!  Exciting stuff people!

In this episode you will learn what the Java Exception handling framework is and how it works with a few example scenarios.  You'll understand why you would use something called a try/catch block of code and how it is used.
