Clear, Concise Guide to the Core Language and Libraries--Updated through Java 17 Modern Java introduces major enhancements that impact the core Java technologies and APIs at the heart of the Java platform. Many old Java idioms are no longer needed, and new features and programming paradigms can make you far more effective. However, navigating these changes can be challenging. Core Java for the Impatient, Third Edition, is a complete yet concise guide that reflects all changes through Java SE 17, Oracle's latest Long-Term Support (LTS) release. Written by Cay S. Horstmann--author of the classic two-volume Core Java--this indispensable tutorial offers a faster, easier pathway for learning modern Java. Horstmann covers everything working developers need to know, including the powerful concepts of lambda expressions and streams, modern constructs such as records and sealed classes, and sophisticated concurrent programming techniques. Given the size and scope of Java 17, there's plenty to cover, but it's presented in small chunks organized for quick access and easy understanding, with plenty of practical insights and sample code to help you quickly apply all that's new. Test code as you create it with JShell Improve your object-oriented design with records and sealed classes Effectively use text blocks, switch expressions, and pattern matching Understand functional programming with lambda expressions Streamline and optimize data management with the Streams API Use modern library features and threadsafe data structures to implement concurrency reliably Work with the modularized Java API and third-party modules Take advantage of API improvements for working with collections, input/output, regular expressions, and processes Learn the APIs for date/time processing and internationalization Whether you're an experienced developer just getting started with modern Java, or have been programming with Java for years, this guide will help you write more robust, efficient, and secure Java code.

The Classic Guide to Advanced Java Programming: Fully Updated for Java 17 "This is the definitive reference and instructional work for Java and the Java ecosystem." --Andrew Binstock, Java Magazine Core Java is the leading no-nonsense tutorial and reference for experienced programmers who want to write robust Java code for real-world applications. Now, Core Java, Volume II: Advanced Features, Twelfth Edition, has been revised to cover the new features and enhancements in the Java 17 long-term support release. As always, all chapters have been completely updated, outdated material has been removed, and the new APIs are covered in detail. This volume focuses on the advanced topics that a programmer needs to know for professional software development and includes authoritative coverage of enterprise programming, networking, databases, security, modularization, internationalization, code processing, and native methods, as well as complete chapters on the Streams, XML, and Date and Time APIs. In addition, the chapter on Advanced Swing and Graphics covers techniques that are applicable to both client-side user interfaces and server-side generation of graphics and images. Cay S. Horstmann clearly explains sophisticated new features with depth and completeness and demonstrates how to use them to build professional-quality applications. Horstmann's thoroughly tested sample code reflects modern Java style and best practices. The examples are carefully crafted for easy understanding and maximum practical value, so you can rely on them to jump-start your own programs. Master advanced techniques, idioms, and best practices for writing reliable Java code Make the most of enhanced Java I/O APIs, object serialization, and regular expressions Efficiently connect to network services, implement servers and the new HTTP/2 client, and harvest web data Process code via the Scripting and Compiler APIs, and use annotations to generate code and files Deepen your understanding of the Java Platform Module System, including recent refinements Leverage the Java security model, user authentication, and the security librarys cryptographic functions Preview powerful new APIs for accessing "foreign" functions and memory See Core Java, Volume I: Fundamentals, Twelfth Edition, for expert coverage of Java programming fundamentals, including objects, generics, collections, lambda expressions, concurrency, and functional programming.

Exploit the Power of Modern JavaScript and Avoid the Pitfalls JavaScript was originally designed for small-scale programming in web browsers, but modern JavaScript is radically different. Nowadays, JavaScript programmers actively embrace functional, object-oriented, and asynchronous programming, while deprecating error-prone concepts from the past. Modern JavaScript for the Impatient is a complete yet concise guide to JavaScript E6 and beyond. Rather than first requiring you to learn and transition from older versions, it helps you quickly get productive with today's far more powerful versions and rapidly move from languages such as Java, C#, C, or C++. Bestselling programming author Cay S. Horstmann covers all you need to know, provided in small chunks organized for quick access and easy understanding. Horstmann's practical insights and sample code help you take advantage of all that's new, avoid common pitfalls and obsolete features, and make the most of modern JavaScript's robust toolchains and frameworks. Quickly master modern JavaScript's implementation of fundamental programming constructs Avoid legacy techniques that create unnecessary complexity and risk Make the most of functional, object-oriented, and asynchronous techniques Use modules to efficiently organize and run complex programs Write more powerful, flexible, and concise programs with metaprogramming Extend JavaScript's power via JavaScript libraries, frameworks, and platforms Whether you're just getting started with JavaScript or you're an experienced developer, this guide will help you write tomorrow's most robust, efficient, and secure JavaScript code.

JavaServer Faces promises to bring rapid user-interface development to server-side Java. It allows developers to painlessly write server-side applications without worrying about the complexities of dealing with browsers and Web servers. It also automates low-level, boring details like control flow and moving code between web forms and business logic.

JavaServer Faces was designed to support drag and drop development of server-side applications," but you can also think of it as a conceptual layer on top of servlets and JavaServer Pages (JSP). Experienced JSP developers will find that JavaServer Faces provides much of the plumbing that they currently have to implement by hand. If you already use a server-side framework such as Struts, you will find that JavaServers Faces uses a similar architecture, but is more flexible and extensible. JavaServer Faces also comes with server-side components and an event model, which are fundamentally similar to the same concepts in Swing.

JavaServer Faces is quickly becoming the standard Web-application framework. "Core JavaServer Faces" is the one book you need to master this powerful and time-saving technology.

Without assuming knowledge of JSP and servlets, "Core JavaServer Faces":

• shows how to build more robust applications and avoid tedious handcoding
• answers questions most developers don't even know to ask
• demonstrates how to use JSF with Tiles to build consistent user interfaces automatically
• provides hints, tips, and explicit "how-to" information that allows you to quickly become more productive
• explains how to integrate JSF with databases, use directory services, wireless apps, and Webservices
• teaches best practices and good habits like using style sheets and message bundles
• covers all of the JSF tags and how to create new tag libraries

The #1 Java Guide for Serious Programmers: Fully Updated for Java SE 9, 10 & 11 For serious programmers, Core Java, Volume I-Fundamentals, Eleventh Edition, is the definitive guide to writing robust, maintainable code.
