The Well-Grounded Java Developer

Posted on 03 November 2018 by Benjamin J. Evans

The Java community has always been dynamic and fast moving, with constant innovation on the core platform as well as a vibrant community ecosystem New JVM based languages like Groovy, Scala, and Clojure are redefining what it means to be a Java developer The core Standard and Enterprise APIs now co exist with a large and growing body of open source technologies Multicore processors, concurrency, and massive data stores require new patterns and approaches to development And with Java 7 due to release in 2011, there s still to absorb The Well Grounded Java Developer is a unique guide written for developers with a solid grasp of Java fundamentals It provides a fresh, practical look at new Java 7 features along with the array of ancillary technologies that a working developer will use in building the next generation of business software.

that topic.If the book was meant for booting up a Java programmer, you can t do it in 500 pages The list of web sites with frameworks languages covered would suite a reader the same as reading this book.On top of these technical issues, I also did not like the style of writing because every single part of the book not talking about the chapters only here starts and ends w...Want to be a good Java developer What do you need to know Java of course That part is easy.But unless you are a brand new Java developer, you probably aren t up to speed on the latest Java 7 features, the threading model and how bytecode works Or maybe you haven t caught up with the new JVM languages Clojure, Scala and Jython The book also covers dependency injection, TDD and the like.With lots of code examples, and clear explanations writing style, I really enjoyed reading the book and Want to be a good Java developer What do you need...Although Java 9 is now out and this book was written way back when Java 7 was new I m still finding this to be a very useful and educational read The book explains the fundamentals of the Java platform e.g bytecode, garbage collection and programming principles in general e.g concurrency, dependency injection, functional programming in a way that I ve not seen in any other book Some aspects of the book are now dated but probably still worthwhile skimming over for a historical context of Although Java 9 is now out and this book was written way back when Java 7 was new I m ...Doesn t cover anything in much detail, not a book for experienced java developer looking for in depth knowledge for any particular topic.Did a good job but doesn t have much on java 8.The title is very intriguing, but This book is overview which shows general trends and that s it Some parts chapters were redundant.Part 1 Developing with Java 7 It was really interesting Nothing to say.Part 2 DI, Concurrency, class file, bytecode, perf all these are just overview but very interesting You won t be well grounded after reading this part Part 3 There was a try to highlight basic features of Groovy, Scala, Clojure But, it s impossible for such different langs using The titl...Uneven, very uneven.Part I Part II are superbly detailed most likely too much for someone who s just going to catch up with Java 7 and that s the main purpose of the book, I assume The rest is far too general it pretty much mentions some important topics, but strongly avoids digging deeper I realize that it s no possible to for instance cover full Scala and or Closure course in polyglot JVM section, but there are some less specific topics that could get some love Examples Gra Uneven, very uneven.Part I Part II are superbly detailed most likely too much for someone who s just going to catch up with

have most other technical books over the past couple years Always Regardless I read the GC bits in depth and skimmed a lot of the rest of the text There is a ton of useful information here some of it like the sections on alternate JVM languages 1 is mostly just for curiosity s sake, but there s also lot of really good stuff about the JVM itself like the performance tuning bits With the recent release of Java 8, this book which Disclosure I didn t rea...This book s authors tried to write an all around guide for the new coming Java developers.But Java is too broad to cover all the different topics in just one book.That s the main problem with this book an attempt to include everything that they could in 400 pages.The book is great There s no other book that starts from low level options of Java NIO and ends with a high end view on current set of Java web frameworks.Was it necessary I doubt.From my perspective it s impossible to do what author This book s authors tried to write an all

developers, however the topics covered are really wide from the Java7 features to alter...
