Core Java SE 9 for the Impatient (2nd Edition)

Readers familiar with Cay Horstmann's  original, two-volume Core Java books who are looking for a comprehensive but condensed guide to all of the new features and functions of Java SE 9 will learn how these new features impact the language and core libraries. Instead of the meticulous detail that the much larger two-volume set provides, Core Java(R) SE 9 for the Impatient provides a condensed treatment focusing on practical examples presented in bite-sized chunks.

As with Java 8, modern Java idioms are no longer required and there is a much faster, easier pathway for learning Java. Horstmann quickly cuts to the chase without lecturing about the superiority of one paradigm over another or rehashing Java history. Given the size of the Java language and the scope of the new features introduced in Java 9, there is a great deal of new material to cover, but it is presented in small chunks organized so that you can quickly retrieve it when needed.

This book covers all aspects of Java that a modern developer needs to know, including modularity, as well as the powerful lambda expressions that were introduced in Java 8. It will also tell you how to find out more about old-fashioned concepts that you might still see in legacy code, but won't dwell on them.

熟悉Cay Horstmann原著的《Core Java》兩卷本的讀者，如果他們正在尋找一本全面但簡明的指南，以了解Java SE 9的所有新功能和功能，將會了解這些新功能如何影響語言和核心庫。《Core Java(R) SE 9 for the Impatient》不像兩卷本提供的詳細細節，而是提供了一個簡明的處理方式，重點是以小塊的實際例子呈現。

與Java 8一樣，現代Java的慣用語已不再需要，學習Java的途徑更快、更簡單。Horstmann迅速進入主題，而不會講述一種範式優於另一種範式，或者重複Java的歷史。考慮到Java語言的規模和Java 9引入的新功能的範圍，有很多新的內容需要涵蓋，但它們以小塊的方式組織，以便在需要時能夠快速檢索。

本書涵蓋了現代開發人員需要了解的Java的所有方面，包括模塊化以及在Java 8中引入的強大的lambda表達式。它還會告訴您如何瞭解更多關於您可能仍然在舊代碼中看到的老式概念，但不會過多討論它們。
