Overview of this book

Java is a powerful language that has applications in a wide variety of fields. From playing games on your computer to performing banking transactions, Java is at the heart of everything. The book starts by unveiling the new features of Java 9 and quickly walks you through the building blocks that form the basis of writing applications. There are 10 comprehensive projects in the book that will showcase the various features of Java 9. You will learn to build an email filter that separates spam messages from all your inboxes, a social media aggregator app that will help you efficiently track various feeds, and a microservice for a client/server note application, to name a few. The book covers various libraries and frameworks in these projects, and also introduces a few more frameworks that complement and extend the Java SDK. Through the course of building applications, this book will not only help you get to grips with the various features of Java 9, but will also teach you how to design and prototype professional-grade applications with performance and security considerations.

Summary


There is much more that can be discussed of course, about Java 10 and these two languages, and the myriad of other projects happening in and around the Java Virtual Machine. After over 20 years of development, Java--the language and the environment--is still going strong. In the pages of this book, I've tried to demonstrate some of these great advancements in the language, giving you a variety of starting points for your own projects, sample code to study and reuse, and explanations of various libraries, APIs, and technologies that may be helpful in your day-to-day work. I hope you've enjoyed the examples and explanations as much as I've enjoyed preparing them, and, more importantly, I hope they help you build the Next Big Thing.

Good luck!
