Complete Java SE 8 Developer Bootcamp - Inheritance: Part 1

The video tutorial discusses the importance of code reuse in object-oriented programming, emphasizing the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principle. It explains how common functionalities can be extracted into separate classes to avoid redundancy. The MyDate class is used as an example of code reuse across different classes. The tutorial also covers composition as a method for building complex objects from simpler ones. Finally, it highlights the drawbacks of copy-paste coding, which can lead to inconsistencies and maintenance challenges.
