Complete Java SE 8 Developer Bootcamp - Overloading Methods

The video tutorial explains method overloading in Java, emphasizing the importance of unique method signatures. It discusses how Java enforces rules to avoid ambiguities when calling methods and provides examples using the println method. The tutorial also highlights that parameter names do not affect method uniqueness and that return types are not part of the method signature. The concept of method overriding is mentioned as an exception to the rule, to be covered in a subsequent lecture.
