Regular expressions in Java (introduction to regex and use in Java)

This series of videos is suitable for programmers with some programming or Java experience who want to learn object-oriented programming and dig deeper into some other Java features. This video is an introduction to regular expressions, specifically in Java. This video is suitable to watch after reading Chapter 7 of Java, Java, Java: Object-oriented problem solving, by Morelli, Walde, and Hoffman. However, the video is very straightforward and can also stand alone or accompany any other textbook that has introduced Java Strings. Let's have some fun learning to program in Java!
