Java 9 Cookbook by Nick Samoylov

Key FeaturesLearn the latest features of Java 9Extend your Java knowledge and take your application to new levels by making it fast, secure, and scalableDelve into the intricacies of Modular programming in Java 9Book DescriptionJava is an object-oriented programming language. It is one of the most widely accepted languages because of its design and programming features, particularly in its promise that you can write a program once and run it anywhere.This cookbook offers a range of software development examples in simple and straightforward Java 9 code, providing step-by-step resources and time-saving methods to help you solve data problems efficiently. Starting with the installation of Java, each recipe addresses a specific problem, with a discussion that explains the solution and offers insight into how it works.We cover major concepts such as Project Jigsaw and various tools that will enable you to modularize your applications. You will learn new features in the form of recipes that will make your applications modular, secure, and fast.What you will learnSet up JDK and know the differences in the JDK 9 installationImplement OO designs using classes and interfacesManage operating system processesUnderstand the new modular JDK and modular programmingCreate a modular application with clear dependenciesBuild graphical user interfaces using JavaFXUse the new HTTP Client APILearn about the new diagnostic features in Java 9See how to use the new jShell REPL toolExecute ES6-compliant JavaScript code from your Java applicationsAbout the AuthorMohamed Sanaulla is a software developer with over 7 years, experience in backend and full stack development. He is also one of the moderators on Code Ranch (formerly known as Java Ranch).Nick Samoylov was born in Moscow, raised in Ukraine, and lived in the Crimea. He graduated as an engineer-physicist from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technologies, has worked as a theoretical physicist, and has learned programming as a tool for testing his mathematical models using FORTRAN and C++.After the demise of the USSR, Nick created and successfully ran a software company, but was forced to close it under the pressure of governmental and criminal rackets. In 1999, with his wife Luda and two daughters, he emigrated to the USA and has been living in Colorado since then.Nick adopted Java in 1997 and used it for working as a software developer-contractor for a variety of companies, including BEA Systems, Warner Telecom, and Boeing. For Boeing, he and his wife, also a Java programmer, developed a system of loading application data to the airplane via the internet.Nicks current projects are related to machine learning and developing a highly scalable system of microservices using non-blocking reactive technologies, including Vert.x, RxJava, and RESTful webservices on Linux deployed in a cloud.Nick and Luda have two daughters who graduated from Harvard and Tufts universities, respectively. One has also received a doctoral degree from Brown University and now works as a professor in the University of California in Chico. The other daughter is an executive director of the investment bank, JPMorgan, in Madrid, Spain.In his free time, Nick likes to read (mostly non-fiction), write (fiction novels and blogs), and hike the Rocky Mountains.Table of ContentsInstallation and sneak peek into Java 9Fasttrack to OOP - Classes and InterfacesModular ProgrammingGoing FunctionalStream Operations and PipelinesDatabase ProgrammingConcurrent and Multithreaded ProgrammingBetter management of OS processGUI programming using JavaFXRESTful Webservices Using Spring BootNetworkingMemory management and debuggingRead Evaluate Print Loop (REPL) using jShellScripting Using OracleNashornTesting
