Who This Book Is For
The book is for intermediate to advanced Java programmers who want to make their applications fast, secure, and scalable.
What You Will Learn
* Set up JDK and know the differences in the JDK 9 installation
* Implement OO designs using classes and interfaces
* Manage operating system processes
* Understand the new modular JDK and modular programming
* Create a modular application with clear dependencies
* Build graphical user interfaces using JavaFX
* Use the new HTTP Client API
* Learn about the new diagnostic features in Java 9
* See how to use the new jShell REPL tool
* Execute ES6-compliant JavaScript code from your Java applications
In Detail
Java 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.
Style and approach
Each recipe in this book contains a series of complete instructions to perform a core task, plus an explanation of the purpose behind it. Similar methods or further refinements are included with each recipe to provide comprehensive guidance.

Mohamed Sanaulla is a software developer with more than 7 years of experience in developing enterprise applications and Java-based backend solutions for e-commerce applications.
His interests include Enterprise software development, refactoring and redesigning applications, designing and implementing RESTful web services, troubleshooting Java applications for performance issues, and TDD.
He has strong expertise in Java-based application development, ADF (JSF-based Java EE web framework), SQL, PL/SQL, JUnit, designing RESTful services, Spring, Struts, Elasticsearch, and MongoDB. He is also a Sun Certified Java Programmer for the Java 6 platform. He is a moderator for JavaRanch, and likes to share his findings on his blog. 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.
Nick's 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.
