The Classic Guide to the Java Programming Language--Fully Updated through Java 25
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, Fourteenth Edition, has been revised to cover the new features and enhancements in the Java 25 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 As always, all chapters have been completely updated, outdated material has been removed, and the new APIs are covered in detail.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 fi le processing, networking, databases, security, internationalization, compiling and scripting, and foreign functions, as well as complete chapters on the Streams, XML, and Date and Time APIs. In addition, the chapters on Swing and Graphics cover 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.
- Effectively use Java streams, including new Java 25 features such as stream gatherers
- 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
- Connect to network services, harvest web data with the HTTP/2 client, and serve data with the built-in web server or implement your own server
- Process code via the Scripting and Compiler APIs, and generate code with the new Class File API
- Leverage the Java security model, user authentication, and the security library's cryptographic functions
- Learn powerful new APIs for accessing foreign functions and memory
"This is the definitive reference and instructional work for Java and the Java ecosystem."
--Andrew Binstock, Java Magazine
