Inhaltsangabe

Get to grips with the fundamentals of Java programming and learn to build useful applications with the help of real-world examples and engaging practical activities

Key Features

• Build a solid foundation in Java and focus on developing real-world applications
• Implement the fundamental concepts of object-oriented programming in your code
• Work with external data storage systems and learn how to efficiently handle data

Book Description

Java is a versatile, popular programming language used across a wide range of industries. Learning how to write effective Java code can take your career to the next level, and The Java Workshop will help you do just that. This book is designed to take the pain out of Java coding and teach you everything you need to know to be productive in building real-world software.

The Workshop starts by showing you how to use classes, methods, and the built-in Collections API to manipulate data structures effortlessly. You'll dive right into learning about object-oriented programming by creating classes and interfaces and making use of inheritance and polymorphism. After learning how to handle exceptions, you'll study the modules, packages, and libraries that help you organize your code. As you progress, you'll discover how to connect to external databases and web servers, work with regular expressions, and write unit tests to validate your code. You'll also be introduced to functional programming and see how to implement it using lambda functions.

By the end of this Workshop, you'll be well-versed with key Java concepts and have the knowledge and confidence to tackle your own ambitious projects with Java.

What you will learn

• Write clean, well-commented Java code that's easy to maintain
• Debug logical errors and handle exceptions in your Java programs
• Implement object-oriented and functional programming paradigms
• Use regular expressions to search for information in text data
• Work with information stored in databases using JDBC
• Make HTTP requests from Java applications and parse the response data
• Secure your data with cryptography and encryption
• Write unit tests to validate your code with JUnit

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

David Cuartielles is a doctorate in interaction design and a postgraduate in telecommunications. He has a strong interest in building technology for humans, and that implies creating platforms and tools that help people to easily perform complex tasks. He is a co-founder of the Arduino platform and also lectures at the Malmo University. He teaches at different universities all over the world, and has spoken in the fields of technology, education, and free/open licensing models. As the CTO in education for Arduino, he advises governments about possible ways of creating new educational programs using state of the art technology (and not just Arduino).

Andreas Göransson is a software consultant focusing on Android application and platform development. He has several years of experience from teaching software development in different languages at the university in Malmö. In the past few years, he has been helping small start-ups and major multinational corporations to deliver high-quality products to a wide array of platforms. He has co-authored two books on Android development and has also contributed to popular open source tools in his spare time.

Eric Foster-Johnson is a veteran programmer who writes enterprise software in Java, Grails, and other JVM technologies. He is a consultant for ObjectPartners. He has authored and co-authored more than 20 books, including Red Hat RPM Guide, Teach Yourself Linux, and Perl Modules.
