Learn Java from Scratch - A Beginner's Guide - Step 07 - Understanding Basics of Encapsulation with Setter Methods

The video tutorial covers the concept of encapsulation in programming, emphasizing its importance in protecting data within a class. It explains how direct access to instance variables from outside classes breaks encapsulation and demonstrates how to fix this by making variables private and using methods to set and access these variables. The tutorial includes practical exercises to reinforce the concept and encourages viewers to think about the benefits of encapsulation.
