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.

Using this as a starting point, you can write systems, with the help of a mobile application, to help keep track of your family's location. Using embedded devices such as Raspberry PI, for example, you can build devices to track inventory as it is shipped across the country, reporting location, speed, environmental conditions, sudden drops or impacts, and so on. A piece of software running on a server could constantly report various metrics about the system, such as CPU temperature, free disk space, memory allocated, system load, and so on. Your options are limited only by your imagination.

To wrap up, let's take a quick look back at what we've learned. We learned about some of the various ... as a service systems that are being offered today, and what...
