Implement Java switch Three Ways Using Python!

I’ve been a Java developer for a long time, and when I started learning Python I constantly found myself wondering, “Hm, how do I do (such and such) in Python?”

The web is great for stuff like that, of course, but sometimes a video that showed me JUST the thing I wanted to see would have been great.

So I started a new YouTube channel called Python for Java Developers.

The first video shows you three ways to implement switch behavior in Java, and then in Python:

Please check it out. If you enjoy the video, please like the video and subscribe to my channel.

A Strong Cup of Java

Hey everyone!

If you’re interested in the goings-on of the Java language, be sure to check out my new Web Series on IBM Developer called A Strong Cup of Java.

The show will focus on interesting topics in the world of Java.

Episode One is about Jakarta EE, where I talk about what Jakarta EE is, and how it got its name (whatever happened to J2EE?).

Episode Two covers the launch of Jakarta EE 8 (the first release of enterprise Java since Java EE 8 in 2017) that happened on September 10, 2019 in an all-day live stream called JakartaOne.

In the coming weeks, there will be eight more episodes published (I have a 10 episode committment from IBM for the series). With your support there may be more, so please watch!

If you have ideas for topics, please let me know. Thanks for reading!
