This short video lesson walks you through the basics of connecting a Java application to a database using NetBeans. I break down how to code standard CRUD operations, specifically how to build functional Add, Edit, and Delete features from scratch.
It is designed as a straightforward, practical resource for researchers learning data handling, or for instructors looking for a clean walkthrough to share with their classes.
As part of the open education movement (supporting SDG 4 & 8), this video is completely free to use, share, or adapt for your own coding courses.
If you want a copy of the source code or the project files to follow along, just let me know in the comments and I’ll gladly share them!
