Learning Reactive Programming with Java 8

Master the principles and techniques of multithreaded programming with the Java 8 Concurrency API About This Book * Implement concurrent applications using the Java 8 Concurrency API and its new components * Improve the performance of your applications or process more data at the same time, taking advantage of all of your resources. * Construct real-world examples related to machine learning, data mining, image processing, and client/server environments Who This Book Is For If you are a competent Java developer with a good understanding of concurrency but have no knowledge of how to effectively implement concurrent programs or use streams to make processes more efficient, then this book is for you. What You Will Learn * Design concurrent applica...

This book can give any Java developer -- regardless of experience -- the firm foundation they need to achieve the full benefits of object-oriented programming. The book combines practical introductions to UML, object-oriented methodologies, design patterns, libraries, and frameworks -- giving developers all the skills they need to begin writing robust object-oriented programs -- and to tackle the entire field of object-oriented development. Leading developer Bruce Wampler begins with a brief introduction to objects and their benefits; then introduces the fundamental concepts of object orientation and shows how they can be implemented in Java -- starting with the basics, and moving on to advanced topics such as object lifetime and copies of objects. H...

Mark Guzdial and Barb Ericson havea most effective method forteaching computing and Java programming in a context that readers find interesting: manipulating digital media. Readers get started right away by learning how to write programs that create interesting effects with sounds, pictures, web pages, and video. The authors use these multimedia applications to teach critical programming skills and principles like how to design and use algorithms, and practical software engineering methodsall in the context of learning how to program in Java. Mark and Barb also demonstrate how to communicate compatibly through networks and do concurrent programming. The book also includes optional coverage of rudimentary data structures and databases using Java and c...
