Course Description
In this Java Programming Advanced course, you will learn about the myriad advances in the language, without having to scour the internet for clues. The Java language has evolved in many ways, with this course concentrating on the advances most pertinent to software engineers.
From new collection classes and functional programming, efficient thread pool executors, redesigned NIO and date time APIs, to extensions in the type system this course is a full meal. Not only will we discuss the merits of each individual topic, but we’ll also drill down into live coding examples where you can begin to see how the concept manifests itself in working code. Almost every lesson provides coding examples chock full of unit tests that prove the concept is delivering the correct results at runtime.
What You'll Learn
- Describe the capabilities of the current version of Java, including its version history and type system
- Apply functional programming with lambdas, functional interfaces, and higher-level functions
- Build stream pipelines using filtering, mapping, grouping, reducing, ordering, statistics, and limits
- Manage concurrency with threads, thread life cycles, thread pools, and schedulers
- Work with the modern file APIs by comparing java.io.File and java.nio.Path for reading, writing, and file metadata
- Use the new date and time APIs covering time, duration, date, and period
Key Takeaways
- The course concentrates on the advances in the Java language most pertinent to software engineers, including new collection classes, functional programming, thread pool executors, redesigned NIO and date time APIs, and type system extensions.
- It contrasts imperative versus declarative programming and introduces lambdas, functional interfaces, and higher-level functions.
- It covers design patterns, including creational, structural, and behavioral patterns.
- It compares legacy date and calendar support with the modern date and time APIs covering time, duration, date, and period.
- Almost every lesson provides live coding examples with unit tests that prove each concept delivers the correct results at runtime.
