Description

Manning's bestselling Java 8 book has been revised for Java 9! In Java 8 and 9 in Action, readers build on their existing Java language skills with the newest features and techniques.

 

The release of Java 9 builds on what made Java 8 so exciting. In addition to Java 8's lambdas and streams, Java 9 adds a host of new features of its own. It includes new library features to support reactive programming, which give users new ways of thinking about programming and writing code that is easier to read and maintain.

 

Key Features

·    Contains all of Java 9’s new features

·    The Java Module System

·    Testing and debugging with lambdas

 

Audience

This book is written for programmers familiar with Java and basic OO programming.

 

About the Technology

Java 9 introduces the long-awaited Java Module System. Modules encourage users to write their code in smaller units that are easier to test, manage and release. Java 9 also helps programmers by enriching the functional-programming and streams features of Java 8.

ETAPS 2006 was the ninth instance of the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software. ETAPS is an annual federated conference that was established in 1998 by combining a number of existing and new conferences. This year it comprised ?ve conferences (CC, ESOP, FASE, FOSSACS, TACAS), 18 satellite workshops (AC- CAT, AVIS, CMCS, COCV, DCC, EAAI, FESCA, FRCSS, GT-VMT, LDTA, MBT, QAPL, SC, SLAP, SPIN, TERMGRAPH, WITS and WRLA), two tutorials, and seven invited lectures (not including those that were speci?c to the satellite events). We - ceived over 550 submissions to the ?ve conferences this year, giving an overall acc- tance rate of 23%, with acceptance rates below 30% for each conference. Congratu- tions to all the authors who made it to the ?nal programme! I hope that most of the other authorsstill founda way of participatingin this excitingevent and I hope you will continue submitting. The events that comprise ETAPS address various aspects of the system devel- ment process, including speci?cation, design, implementation, analysis and impro- ment. The languages, methodologies and tools which support these activities are all well within its scope. Di?erent blends of theory and practice are represented, with an inclination towards theory with a practical motivation on the one hand and soundly based practice on the other. Many of the issues involved in software design apply to systems in general, including hardware systems, and the emphasis on software is not intended to be exclusive.
