As Java continues to evolve, this cookbook continues to grow in tandem with hundreds of hands-on recipes across a broad range of Java topics. Author Ian Darwin gets developers up to speed right away with useful techniques for everything from string handling and functional programming to network communication and AI.
If you're familiar with any release of Java, this book will bolster your knowledge of the language and its many recent changes, including how to apply them in your day-to-day development. Each recipe includes self-contained code solutions that you can freely use, along with a discussion of how and why they work.
Downloadable from GitHub, all code examples compile successfully. This updated edition covers changes up to and including Java 21. You will:
Learn how to apply many new and old Java APIs
Use the new language features in recent Java versions
Understand the code you're maintaining
Develop code using standard APIs and good practices
Explore the brave new world of current Java development
Ian Darwin has a lifetime of experience in the software industry, having worked with Java across many platforms and types of software, from Java's initial pre-release to the present, from desktop to enterprise to mobile.
Java 21 is the current long-term supported (LTS) version, and Java 24 is the latest current release at the time of publication of this edition. The current cadence of releases every six months may be great for the Java SE development team at Oracle, for developers who want access to the latest-and-greatest, and for click-driven, Java-related news sites, but it “may cause some extra work” for Java book authors, since books typically have a longer revision cycle than Java now does! Java 9, which came out after a previous edition of this book, was a sort-of-breaking release, the first release in a very long time to almost break backward compatibility, primarily the Java Platform Module System.
Everything in this edition of the book can be assumed to work on Java 11 or later, unless specified otherwise. At this point in time, nobody should be using Java 8 (or anything before it) for anything. Certainly nobody should be doing new development in Java 8. If you are, it’s time to move on! While Java 11 is considered an LTS release, it is so old that you shouldn’t use it. Java 17 is the previous LTS and quite usable, but if you want the best start on an LTS Java release, begin with Java 21.
The goal of this revision of Java Cookbook is to keep the book up to date with all this change. I’ve included numerous new features, which meant I had to remove a significant amount of material. There are numerous additions throughout the chapters. In several places, a few recipes have been combined into one in the interest of simplicity and readability (and reducing page count). And of course I’ve updated a lot of other information along the way.
Who This Book Is For:
I’m going to assume that you know the basics of Java. I won’t tell you how to println a string, nor how to write a class that extends another and/or implements an interface.
However, Chapter 1 covers some techniques that you might not know very well and that are necessary to understand some of the later material. Feel free to skip around! Both the printed version of the book and the electronic copy are heavily cross-referenced.
