This series of videos is suitable for programmers with minimal (or no) programming experience who want to learn Java. This video is an overview of branching structures in Java, including the introduction of the if/else statement, boolean expressions, and the relational operators (equal to, not equal to, less than, greater than, less than or equal to, greater than or equal to).

There is a suggested (free) book below that you could read along with the videos lessons. However, the video is very straightforward and can also stand alone or accompany any other introductory Java textbook. Let's have some fun learning to program in Java!
