"A comprehensive and practical introduction to the modern features of the latest Java releases with excellent examples!"
Oleksandr Mandryk, EPAM Systems

Manning's bestselling Java 8 book has been revised for Java 9 and 10! In Modern Java in Action, you'll build on your existing Java language skills with the newest features and techniques.

Modern applications take advantage of innovative designs, including microservices, reactive architectures, and streaming data. Modern Java features like lambdas, streams, and the long-awaited Java Module System make implementing these designs significantly easier. It’s time to upgrade your skills and meet these challenges head on!

Modern Java in Action connects new features of the Java language with their practical applications. Using crystal-clear examples and careful attention to detail, this book respects your time. It will help you expand your existing knowledge of core Java as you master modern additions like the Streams API and the Java Module System, explore new approaches to concurrency, and learn how functional concepts can help you write code that’s easier to read and maintain.

Inside:
  • Thoroughly revised edition of Manning’s bestselling Java 8 in Action
  • New features in Java 8, Java 9, and beyond
  • Streaming data and reactive programming
  • The Java Module System
Written for developers familiar with core Java features.
