Are you a Java developer curious about the latest advancements in Java 9? Whether you're a seasoned Java 8 expert, a programmer exploring a career shift, or simply aiming to enhance your Java skills, this course dives into the key features of Java 9 designed for modern development.
This isn't a superficial overview. We go beyond a high-level summary to provide a deep understanding of the motivations behind Java 9's changes and how they address real-world challenges. You'll learn through practical, relevant examples, ensuring you can immediately apply these new features in your projects.
Taught by Frank Mitropoulos Ph.D., a university professor with over 23 years of software development experience, this course covers essential Java 9 features, including:
- Java Shell: Discover the power of the Java Shell – a highly productive environment for learning, exploring APIs, and quickly prototyping Java code. You'll find yourself reaching for it repeatedly for small code snippets and concept exploration.
- Java Platform Module System: Understand the Java Platform Module System, a significant addition to Java 9 that modularizes the JDK and elevates modules to first-class citizens. We'll explain the system's goals, delve into its details, and demonstrate its impact by transforming a simple JokeServer application from a non-modular structure to a fully modularized application with a JavaFX front end.
- Process API Updates: Explore the enhanced Process API in Java 9, enabling direct interaction with native processes without resorting to complex or unsafe solutions like the Java Native Interface (JNI). We'll showcase practical use cases and provide live code examples within the Java Shell to demonstrate its ease of use across different operating systems.
We also address migration considerations for existing non-modular code in Java 9 with a practical example.
