Java 9 Programming Blueprints

By: Jason Lee

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.

While the capabilities exposed via the Facebook API are limiting, some sort of meaningful Facebook integration could be added. Sunago itself could be modified to, say, add support for in-application viewing of social media content (as opposed to shelling out to the host operating system's default browser). There are a handful of minor user experience bugs that could be addressed. And the list can go on and on. What we do have, though, is a moderately complex, networked application, that demonstrates a number of features and capabilities of the Java platform. We've built an extensible, internationalized JavaFX application that demonstrates the use of the Service Provider Interface and ClassLoader magic, and offers...
