SDKs serve as the "toolboxes" programmers use to build cool applications. But what does that mean, really?

I love how easy to understand these videos are for someone who wants to start delving deeper into computer engineering. They make it easy to visualize and connect with the subject material. Also love the segways into the sponsor ads lol
Someone is coding the Linus' Wise Words app already, for sure.
LOL THIS IS GOLD MAN
i kinda hope it happens
As a budding computer enthusiast, this was super handy. If only school teachers were like that 😂. Thanks Linus! Keep up the great content!
Programmer here, nope, I'm not coding Linus' Wise Words app, I'm here to clear some things up:
It looks like you mixed up 3 things and sold all of those as "SDK", as, usually, the "SDK" itself is just a small portion of programming.
- The SDK is basically just a bundle of libraries that are necessary to build stuff in the programming language of choice. There are languages that don't require an SDK (for example Bash).
- The actual program a programmer runs and works in is called an IDE. This is where the whole button moving stuff and Debugging you mentioned is going on.
- There are no "Image manipulation SDKs". Those are called libraries. They usually do something specific, while using the groundlayers of the language (given by the SDKs libraries).
So don't think you can just download an SDK and become a programmer. You'll definitely need an IDE (which, actually is bundled into the SDK download package, for example the Android SDK which actually is just a modded version of IntelliJ/Eclipse) and you'll definitely want to download and import image-manipulation and Text-menu Libraries.
Linus you are one big piece of software and I'm so proud of your development.
Excellent material, brilliant presentation!
I remember developing my own SDK in a form of various subroutines within TI Graphing calculator back in the 90s. I wonder if those are still floating around...
TI Calculators? Yeah, they're still around, XKCD even joked about how they still seem to remain unchanged to this day.
make a techquikie about how games are made. ex When are the graphics put into the game , When are the physics put into the game , When is the scenario itself put into the game , How do they decide what will the graphics,physics,scenario be. etc
for something like that they would probably have to have the format modern marvels on history channel has and that level of backing....
which i hope they someday have, because their content and production value already meet or exceed the standards of modern marvels and mythbusters and would be great as a tech show alongside that kind of programming..
+Isabella Rhoslyn You can compress any topic to a few minutes. When it's to much compressed it will just not contain all the information to get startet. Just like in any techquicky video.
When they can make a techquicky video about SDKs, they can also make a technquicky video about game engines. Basically a "game engine" is just an other word for "SDK for games".
+Rem ko
Games are a piece of technology.
Just search game engine duh
So why should they border to make a video about APIs or SDKs?
Just search API/SDK duh.
The idea is there but all in all it would just make for a really drawn out techquickie
I love videos about programming stuff. It help me understand the importance of SDK, tanks
I exclusively use Notepad for programming
hardcore
notepadd++ best ever kinda gets tedious though with HTML5 PHP and java though lol
Kye W then your probably a beginner web developer
Why do you hate yourself?
Kye W I program in Microsoft Excel.
Top quality as ever!
And im waiting on the Linus' Wise Words app
www.gofundme.com/linuswisewords
Tiberone I need this in my life!
Wow. What an awesome and EXCELLENT explanation
C# is great. wish more companies would use it. also, SDKs for platforms are usually for used for creating visuals of all kinds and interfacing with hardware in a standard way.
#C lel
Shane Alvarez C sharp? I prefer d flat
is C# the same as C++, or is it different? i remember my autocad teacher telling us one time when i was in high school that most programs were written in one of the C programming languages sometimes C but usually C+ or C++ and i forget if it was him or someone else but somewhere along the line i learned that some people were lazy and wrote C++ as C# when abbreviating the name of the language.
i've never heard of what Linus said "C sharp" before.. normally in scientific or musical notation "C sharp" would generally be written as C' or C with an accent mark over the letter... not C and the number/pound sign notation/symbol.
Isabella Rhoslyn so there are a bunch of C-style languages, including C, C++, Java, C# (c-sharp), objective-C, and so forth. Each is distinct in style, code libraries, and so on, but all have a similar format. C and layer C++ have had a strong presence in older programs after it grew in popularity and dominated larger projects. Now it is still used in large projects but more code is written in the newer and smarter languages. C# is one of those, which up until recently was exclusively for Microsoft programs but is now used wherever we want. Also, many people still like C++ for its performance characteristics, but others (like me) favor the langues like C# for being more programmer friendly, even at a slight loss of speed (less of an issues these days, but I can't explain that in depth here)
Shane Alvarez thank you very much. programming languages make no sense to me ive never been given a primer or any framework or basis point or reference for understanding them and how they work. Visual Basic scripting tool in Excel & Access only makes any sense to me when i have a work book in front of me to help me figure out what to do, without one as a reference i'm lost. you may as well put greek, latin, egyptian hieroglyphics, or mayan, or cuneiform text in front of me as any of the programming languages.. i've heard them talked about but don't really know anything about them in any detail. in general i was taught in school that computers run on binary simple on and off 0s and 1s i had never even heard of the concept of programming languages i dont think til i was in 10th grade or so.
i was a M.I.S. major at first in college because i enjoyed studying both business and computer courses and that major blends both, but for my bachelor's degree i had to just go with Management as my focus instead of M.I.S., because the M.I.S. curriculum jumped from things like Fundamentals of Networking and similar introductory courses and concepts, and doing things like learning Microsoft Office 2003 and how to make macros with the help of a work book... to full on programming of the kind to make a program like Excel they said with no book to work from..
I'm a visual learner and logic/steps based learner, i need to see it and follow along with it to grasp it sometimes and cant just go from step 1 to what feels like step 1001 or a million and one with nothing in between to help get you there mentally.
thank you for the explanation... i didn't even know java/javascript was a programming language, only thing i knew was it is a coffee mug thing/application that pcs make me constantly update way too often and that without it being updated often enough websites and flash videos often stop working... in highschool the only thing i rmember being mentioned about java was that it was a tool for developers and i think it was from sun microsystems originally, they basically said a normal end-user/consumer doesn't need to know anything about it or interact with it at all. so as far as i knew it was just a tool or app not a language.
and yes i can see that, greater ease of use and greater accuracy/less errors is worth a slight speed reduction.
plz do more programming related video. you are the only tech youtuber that I understand quickly
Zahin Imrose I'd say to take a lap around Codecademy.com if you wanna get into programming. From there, Microsoft Virtual Academy. But you want learn much from linus in this domain. I've watched long enough to know this isn't his realm
Okay.I will check codecademy
BTW I am learning basics of JavaScript in khan academy.
I've been giving a look at the SDK for a gaming console, the gigabytes of info that it contains, and it's beyond me how on earth they come up with all this coding stuff and the sheer amount of people that must be involved in it!
Thank you for the great explanation.
Love all the analogies.
Informative Linus.
Very crisp video...keep it up!
Suggestion for *Fast as Possible*: "TCP vs UDP" (Since TCP/ip has been done already)
I would tell you a joke about UDP, but you probably wouldn't get it......
@@PaulGariepy Tell me the joke Plz
@@dkracingfan2503 UDP packets do not require the recipient to acknowledge that each packet has been received aka lost packets are common but acceptable. Streams like video or games where a few lost packets are normal and can be compensated for are generally udp.
UDP is like a honey badger. Honey badger don't give a sh*t
I think that Linus addressed UDP in “TCP/IP” video. Not sure - I suggest you rewatch that :)
Alright Linus this video was really swell!
I have a suggestion for a future episode, could you show different pc programs to manage a business, I mean the salarys and the income/outcome of money. That would be helpful, keep the good work.
great video, clear and useful
lol give John and Dennis a raise
Thought I was the only one that noticed. 🤣

Thanks Linus, best IT channel IN THE WORLD !
Thanks for the video!
@1:06 >> i loved the way you slided to the right ^^ better than michael jackson ^^
thank you so much for this
I plant, grow and harvest my own weed...
tu m'as tué !
(means "lol" in a timeless way)
İlhami Aslansoy yes
thanks linus really cool
a video on IDEs and compilers would be cool
I don't think he has the experience to talk about compilers in depth
really liked it brother
Yay! I love videos about programming stuff :) Can you do some videos on the complete history of programming? Starting from basic (and whatever came before that) to the evolution of OOP with C and then Java? And then maybe finish it off with the newest data science languages like R, Python, and server languages like Go and Node JS!
C is not an OOP C++ is when C was created there was no concept of Classes or namespaces
C# is great for beginners and can be used to develop on many other platforms, not just Windows.
awesome video!
Linus' Wise Words of the Day someone's gonna make it
if you wanted we could really program that app! :) i am a big fan and would love to, just let us know!
I play a game and I saw SDK, you explained it in a term that a sunny can understand well done, oh I mean beginner lol
Thank you !
FINALLY A GOOD SPONSOR
hey, can you make a video to explain in plain language what a framework is? also you can try with kernel, too. thanks.
I want that hoodie.
He dosent use it anymore
So is it a library that interacts with the API for you?
i fixed my wifi just to watch linus tech tips
I'd like to know more about the various key switches available on the market, other than Cherry MX for obvious reasons... I would like to know how cheap can an individual key switch be and still is reliable for everday usage.
OMG THOSE HOODIE STRINGS!!! my OCD is going insane now
just amazing
I'm pretty sure you've confused SDK with libraries, or at least, in your description.
A SDK is a collection of libraries used for different purposes, while the libraries themselves are used to do the tasks you described, and usually, they aren't part of the SDK.
But yeah, cool vid for people wondering what the hell developers use :)
So apis are used by the uber app to interface with uber while sdks are used for building the app in itself?
Pls make a video on compilers, cross-compilers and interpreted languages.
3:30 Yes, those are the prefered languages of the companys. But it's way more flexible than that.
iOS and Android development can also be done in C++ (I#m not sure if you can make a 100% C++ Android app) and thanks to Intels Multi OS Engine (still in Beta as far as I know) you can port Android apps written in Java to iOS without changing the language. You can even do all this with the Android SDK, since Multi OS Engine is a plug-in for it.
And Windows? Well, there you can use pretty much any language you want. Just like on any other desktop OS. It looks like even Apples Swift will get official Windows support.
I'm not sure what this means for iOS development. At least the official Apple way to develop apps for iOS is only possible on Mac. Even if it's possible to develop iOS apps in C++ which is completely plattform independent. And I think Objective C itself should work on Windows too.
But with Microsofts Xamarin (C#), Intels Multi OS Engine (Java), Qt (C++), PhoneGap (HTML/CSS + Javascript), ... you already don't need a Mac.
thanks bro
I would buy the Linus' Wise Words app
did jon and dennis get the raise? just want to know if using the windows sdk like that would work for me too.....
It was fun to see linus talking anything other than hardware.
BTW, "give jon and denis a raise.docx" :v
Can you please make a video on qemu kvm? Aka gpu passthrough to run windows games on linux mint at pretty much native performance.
Not just mint, gpu passthrought is actually best supported on arch.
plz make a video about how compressors and extractors work
Could you do a video about Mozilla Servo and what it tries to do better than Chrome, Firefox and Edge?
Do a video about the difference between 8-bit, 10-bit and 12-bit panels
Is it safe to say API's are for harnessing 'external' software connections and SDK's are for utilizing internal capabilities?
Please Explain Burn-In Headphones, is it works ? or just placebo effecr ?
could you make a fast as possible on the difference between MMS and SMS?
what is
dedicated graphics and shared graphics?
Can u make a vid talking about how phone system grew?
Restful services AFAP, please.
Linus! A Topic for you!
Can you PLEASE make a comparison once and for all about what the big differences are between DLP and LCD Projectors!? I am really stuck as to which type of projector has the least amount of input lag as possible (for gaming of course). Can you please settle this?
Thank you so much for your consideration. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE THIS!
if SDK contains editors, which editors does cosmo SDK, facebook SDK contains?
What is the difference between Xampp and JDK? One is called package and another is called SDK, but it's the same for me :( And is PHP a SDK? We can't code without installing PHP. How should I call it?
Can u suggest a sdk for photo-editing
can you do a video about PLX chips?
We do have to plant, grow and farm wheat to get toast how do you think it gets on the supermarket shelf. It is just done for you by farmers.
Cool, now make a video about containerization/docker.
I wonder if that bit about Linus' Wise Words app is permission enough to legally make the app without any more consent or having to share profits. Would take an afternoon to make...well, maybe a bit more to collect the "wise" words.
those drawstrings drive me crazy
that robot is so cute, omg
is there an sdk to interface with deez nuts?
It's called the netflix and chill CDK (Child Development Kit)
Someone better go make a "Linus' word of the day" app now.
did you say Vancouver oh shot gotta move (in live in Canada bc)
My want for raisin toast right now is unbelievable....
Nice video but, a library is not necessarily an sdk, for example, node.js is not a javascript sdk.
sdk should always have the minimum amount of libraries, and anything else should be build upon these basic libraries. Imagine the java dk size if it contained all possible libraries.
U gunna need grape vines, chickens, yeast, a salt mine, a cane plantation, and at least a dutch oven to make that toast there by.
Someone mixed SDK and library when writing this script.
What is the difference? That's the question I wanted answered
@@radu6772 The term library usually refers to third-party code referenced, called and executed from within your application. The examples given between 2:57 - 3:15 are all examples of libraries.
SDKs, on the other hand, are what enable software development in the first place. They often include libraries but what really makes them SDKs are the tools necessary to develop code for a specific platform like compilers, debuggers, runtimes, often package managers and sometimes even code editors or drivers for the hardware you're developing for.
@@roman.sattler thanks for the explanation :)
Exactly, an SDK contains the tools needed to actually make BUILD for a platform of your choice, like a package manager or compiler, this SDK must be offered by the hardware vendor/manufacturer. In this video they confused software libraries and SDK, and even IDE's with SDK when he talked about WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) application user interface development. This is a poorly researched video.
@@roman.sattler
@@roman.sattler Yes, they confused libraries and SDK. A SDK primary role is to allow a developer to build for a specific platform giving the necessary tools, and the SDK must be provided by the hardware vendor/manufacturer. This is a poorly researched video.
Can you make a video explaining "bugs" ?
Next episode about RAD (rapid application development)?
Thats just one of many development models... maybe he could do a video on software development models as a whole instead.
Stanisław Szczypuła eh, Agile is dominating right now, it'd be better to cover that, but there is better areas in programming to cover than something so far up the software dev ladder
Do a finfet as fast as possible
this is very informative good job
Thanks Linus the vids are always entertaining... But this vid left out one of the cheep and FREE programming resources with a platform like the Arduino!
This guy looks and sounds just like linus from linustechtips
......
You must be new here no doubt
@@seamusfrederick2927 i do believe he is shit posting
That app WILL BE MADE BY SOMEONE SOMEWHERE
www.gofundme.com/linuswisewords
surprised lg microsoft intel corsair cooler master or one of their other regular sponsors hasnt already came up with an app like that for them, lol.. i mean this channel does a lot of free product awarness for the industry in general and alot of stuff for sponsors, and an app useful to linus and his community would be a much better thank you to them then a linus figurine in front of 3 tiny ultrawide monitors... lol..
But can Anki see why kids love cinnamon toast crunch?
Cozmo is so cool =)
Im going to make Linus' Wise Words in React Native. Be back in a week :)
How did it go?
I would do the APP, but since _hybrid apps_ (native APIs + html5) haven't been mention in the video it would be a bit ironic. Not not mention the $100 uSd yearly apple fee to become a developer.
José Sachs ewww Cordova apps. Furthermore, ewwww Apple developer costs. both make me sad XD
i plant grow and harvest my own cannibus every time i want to smoke a joint
where do we get a repository for linus's "wise words"? Not lieing, that app can be developed within a day
i have windows software development kit on my pc can i delete it cause it uses much storage
Jesus christ, first 30 seconds and I already love this guy
so are you going to give Jon and Dennis raises?
