If you are a skilled Java programmer but are concerned about theJava coding interview process, this real-world guide can help youland your next position Java is a popular and powerful language that is a virtualrequirement for businesses making use of IT in their dailyoperations. For Java programmers, this reality offers job securityand a wealth of employment opportunities. But that perfect Javacoding job won't be available if you can't ace the interview. Ifyou are a Java programmer concerned about interviewing, JavaProgramming Interviews Exposed is a great resource to preparefor your next opportunity. Author Noel Markham is both anexperienced Java developer and interviewer, and has loaded his bookwith real examples from interviews he has conducted. Review over 150 real-world Java interview questions you arelikely to encounter Prepare for personality-based interviews as well as highlytechnical interviews Explore related topics, such as middleware frameworks andserver technologies Make use of chapters individually for topic-specific help Use the appendix for tips on Scala and Groovy, two otherlanguages that run on JVMs Veterans of the IT employment space know that interviewing for aJava programming position isn't as simple as sitting down andanswering questions. The technical coding portion of the interviewcan be akin to a difficult puzzle or an interrogation. With JavaProgramming Interviews Exposed, skilled Java coders can preparethemselves for this daunting process and better arm themselves withthe knowledge and interviewing skills necessary to succeed.

Explore the new Java 9 modules, SDK, JDK, JVM, JShell and more in this comprehensive book that covers what’s new in Java 9 and how to use these new features. Java 9 Revealed is for experienced Java programmers looking to migrate to Java 9. Author Kishori Sharan begins by covering how to develop Java applications using the new module system introduced in Java 9 and how to use the JShell tool in Java 9 for prototyping, compiling and testing. The book provides extensive coverage of new Java 9 features, such as the new layout of the modular JDK/JRE runtime image, new convenience factory methods for creating collections, the new spin-wait hints introduced to improve performance of spin loops in your code, and the new Desktop API for implementing platform-specific desktop features. Along the way you will also learn how to use the Reactive Streams API in Java 9 and, most importantly, this book will show you the breaking changes in Java 9. What You'll Learn How JShell facilitates rapid development, code evaluation, and testing Discover what is new in the Process API Inspect a thread’s stack with the Stack-Walking API Use the jlink tool to create a custom runtime image Work with HTML5 Javadoc and use the new search feature in Javadoc Learn how to use new methods and collectors in the Streams API Learn how to create a custom logger to log messages from platform classes and how to use JVM logs Learn about new methods in the Optional class and how to use them Learn how to compare arrays and slices of arrays Learn how to use the enhanced try-with-resources blocks Make your object deserialization more secure by using object deserialization filters Who This Book Is For Experienced Java programmers and developers.

Develop modular applications using the Java Platform Module System, the single most anticipated feature in Java 9. You will improve maintainability and performance of your Java applications by deploying only modules that are needed and encapsulating their implementation details. Until now Java has been monolithic. Using any one part of Java has meant incorporating the entirety of the runtime environment, an approach ill-suited to the increasing number of IoT devices such as fitness monitors, kitchen appliances, toys and games, and so forth. This book shows a new way, to make Java scale from the smallest of footprints in the smallest of devices through desktop PCs and on up to server platforms. With Java 9 Modularity Revealed you will learn to make your projects more reliable and scalable than ever using the most important feature in Java 9—The Java Platform Module System, known more commonly as Project Jigsaw. You will learn how to avoid one of the major pain points of Java programming, that of conflicting class names from different modules, or packages. You will learn to create custom run-time images that represent a minimal and more compact JRE containing only those modules that you need. You will further learn to migrate existing Java applications to modular ones using different approaches and tools. The end result is a new ability to plug together different modules without fear of namespace and other conflicts, and you can deploy to everything from small devices to large servers. This book provides code examples and explanations. What You'll Learn Build Java applications using the new modular system introduced in Java 9 Create your own JRE consisting only of the modules that you require Adapt your testing techniques toward modular applications lare your dependencies on other modules Enable modules to export only specific packages Migrate existing Java applications to modular ones Improve maintainability and performance of Java applications Who This Book Is For Experienced Java programmers wanting to keep up and become informed on the new modularity support in Java 9

1st and only book that covers new Java 6 (should be) Author, John Zukowski, is Java industry expert and insider Covers all that’s new and emerging with this new Java 6 SE (Standard Edition), in time for next year’s JavaOne
