Book description
Explore the new Java 9 modules, SDK, JDK, JVM, JShell and more in this comprehensive book that covers what's new in Java 9 and how to use these new features. Java 9 Revealed is for experienced Java programmers looking to migrate to Java 9. Author Kishori Sharan begins by covering how to develop Java applications using the new module system introduced in Java 9 and how to use the JShell tool in Java 9 for prototyping, compiling and testing.
