<span><span><p>Java has been used by over 9 million programmers around the world since it was first released 20 years ago. Now with the release of Java 8, experienced programmers new to the Java platform will need to master an even more powerful language and learn new features such as lambda expressions and other enhancements that impact the core libraries and APIs.</p><p><em><strong><em>Learning Modern Java LiveLessons</em></strong></em>gives you a practical, fast-paced and hands-on introduction to programming with Java 8. It provides a crash course in a wide range of Java programming techniques, but with an emphasis on the new idioms and features.</p><p>
This course is geared for professional programmers who have programmed in other languages and are familiar with fundamental programming concepts. If you are an experienced Java developer seeking training on the new features in Java 8, see <em>Java 8 Lambda Expressions in Streams LiveLessons</em>.</p><p><strong>Description</strong></p><p>
In these LiveLessons, Java Champion Marty Hall provides thorough coverage of the foundational Java topics: basic syntax, object-oriented programming, and core data structures. It also delivers a fast-moving survey of some of the most important libraries: graphical user interfaces, multithreaded applications, network programming, serialization, and database access. In addition, it provides an introduction to lambdas and streams in Java 8, the most important features in the new release of Java. In each section, Marty presents details on the most important topics, surveys more advanced or lesser-used topics, stresses best practices, and furnishes plenty of working examples.</p><p>Please visit <a href="http://www.coreservlets.com/java-8-tutorial/" target="_blank">http://www.coreservlets.com/java-8-tutorial/</a> for the LiveLessons Web site. This site contains the complete source code for all examples in the video, as well as exercises and exercise solutions for each topic.</p><p>

OOP is the core programming strategy in Java.</div></li><li><div>Understand data structures and syntax, including try/catch blocks, Lists, Maps, generic types, printf, inner classes, and unit testing with JUnit. </div></li><li><div>Understand how (and why) to run different processes at the same time. Concurrent programming with the Java threading framework and the parallel programming with the Java fork/join framework are both covered.</div></li><li><div>Understand lambda expressions, Java's way of representing functions and passing them around. You learn how combining this idea with the use of generic types can make your code significantly more flexible and reusable.</div></li><li><div>Understand streams, which are wrappers around data sources such as arrays or lists that make it surprisingly easy to do high-performance bulk processing on large data sets.</div></li><li><div>Understand I/O, including file I/O, which is surprisingly simple and powerful in the latest Java version; making network clients that connect on sockets; making network servers that listen on sockets; and serialization for sending complex Java data structures into files or sockets, then reading them back out again later.</div></li></ul><p><strong>Who Should Take This Course</strong></p><ul><li><div>This course is aimed at developers who have moderate to strong experience in some other programming language, but who are new to Java.</div></li></ul><p><strong>Course Requirements</strong></p><ul><li><div>Familiar with fundamental programming concepts</div></li><li><div>Moderate to strong experience in programming with another language</div></li><li><div>Experience with C, C++, C#, Objective-C, Python, Perl, or JavaScript is preferred</div></li><li><div>Little to no prior experience in programming with Java</div></li></ul><p><strong>Table of Contents</strong></p><p><strong>Lesson 1: Java with Eclipse: Setup and Getting Started<br/></strong>Topics<br/>
