"Hi, Amigo!" "Hi!" "Today I will tell you about version control systems." "As you probably already know, programs are often very large and take a very long time to write. Sometimes dozens of people can spend years writing a program." "Projects with millions of lines of code are a reality." "Whoa ..."

"Today I'm going to tell you about the two most popular version control programs: SVN and Git." "SVN works approximately the way I described in the last lesson. Git is a little more complicated, and I plan to discuss it in more detail." "Can you give me links to the documentation for SVN and Git?"

"Now for a new, interesting topic: wildcards." "Essentially, this is something like a «*» pattern that matches anything." "But let's start from the beginning." "Imagine that you have a Warrior class and a method that determines which of two warriors is stronger. Here's how this might look ..."

"Hi! I'm going to continue Ellie's lesson on generics. Ready to listen?" "Yes." "Then let's begin." "The first thing you need to know is that a class's methods can also have their own type parameters." "I know." "No, I specifically mean their own type parameters ..."

"Well, finally — another small lesson on generics." "Now I'm going to tell you how to get around type erasure." "Ah. That's something I want to know." "As you probably already know, Java has a Class type, which is used to store a reference to an object's class. "Here are some examples ..."

"Hi, Amigo!" "Let's continue our lessons on how to google." "Here are some exercises ..."
