Tackle Mult - Core Complexity on the Java Virtual Machine

EBook Description: The increasing popularity and availability of multicore processors is creating a whole new set of challenges - although you can enjoy true concurrency, you're now faced with higher contention and synchronization issues. Deploying an existing application on a multicore processor may bring out previously hidden concurrency issues. Javas multi threading facility by itself isnt enough its a very low level abstraction. Instead, you need a paradigm that provides a higher level of abstraction to deal with concurrency. Its time to embrace Functional Programming. Scala is a hybrid Object Oriented/Functional Programming language on the JVM. Using Scala, you can create traditional imperative programs, intermix them with Java code, and at the same time take advantage of higher levels ofabstraction. You can use features that lead to concise, highly expressive code that remove the pain of dealing with concurrency. Programming Scala will show you the fundamentals of functional programming using Scala. Very quickly, you will learn how this statically typed language can give you dynamic capabilities to create concise, scalable, highly capable concurrent code. Pragmatic programmers always use the right tool for the job. For concurrent programming on the Java VM, Scala is the tool, and Programming Scala by award winning author Venkat Subramaniam is your guide.

Modular Java

he secret weapon for attacking complexity in any project is to break it down into smaller, cohesive, and more easily digestible pieces. With Modular Java, you can easily develop applications that are more flexible, testable, maintainable, and comprehensible.
Modular Java is a pragmatic guide to developing modular applications using OSGi, the framework for dynamic modularity in Java, and Spring Dynamic Modules, an OSGi extension to the Spring Framework. Youll start with the basics but quickly ramp up, creating loosely coupled modules that publish and consume services, and youll see how to compose them into largerapplications. Along the way, youll apply what you learn as you build a complete web application that is made up of several OSGi modules, using Spring DM to wire those modules together.

Modular Java is filled with tips and tricks that will make you a more proficient OSGi and Spring DM developer. Equipped with the know how gained from this book, youll be able to developapplications that are more robust and agile.

Thinking in Java

�Thinking in Java should be read cover to cover by every Java programmer, then kept close at hand for frequent reference. The exercises are challenging, and the chapter on Collections is superb! Not only did this book help me to pass the Sun Certified Java Programmer exam; it�s also the first book I turn to whenever I have a Java question.�
�Jim Pleger, Loudoun County (Virginia) Government�Much better than any other Java book I�ve seen. Make that �by an order of magnitude��. Very complete, with excellent right-to-the-point examples and intelligent, not dumbed-down, explanations�. In contrast to many other Java books I found it to be unusually mature, consistent, intellectually honest, well-written, and precise. IMHO, an ideal book for studying Java.�
�Anatoly Vorobey, Technion University, Haifa, Israel�Absolutely one of the best programming tutorials I�ve seen for any language.�
�Joakim Ziegler, FIX sysop�Thank you again for your awesome book. I was really floundering (being a non-C programmer), but your book has brought me up to speed as fast as I could read it. It�s really cool to be able to understand the underlying principles and concepts from the start, rather than having to try to build that conceptual model through trial and error. Hopefully I will be able to attend your seminar in the not-too-distant future.�
�Randall R. Hawley, automation technician, Eli Lilly & Co.�This is one of the best books I�ve read about a programming language�. The best book ever written on Java.�
�Ravindra Pai, Oracle Corporation, SUNOS product line�Bruce, your book is wonderful! Your explanations are clear and direct. Through your fantastic book I have gained a tremendous amount of Java knowledge. The exercises are also fantastic and do an excellent job reinforcing the ideas explained throughout the chapters. I look forward to reading more books written by you. Thank you for the tremendous service that you are providing by writing such great books. My code will be much better after reading Thinking in Java. I thank you and I�m sure any programmers who will have to maintain my code are also grateful to you.�
�Yvonne Watkins, Java artisan, Discover Technologies, Inc.�Other books cover the what of Java (describing the syntax and the libraries) or the how of Java (practical programming examples). Thinking in Java is the only book I know that explains the why of Java: Why it was designed the way it was, why it works the way it does, why it sometimes doesn�t work, why it�s better than C++, why it�s not. Although it also does a good job of teaching the what and how of the language, Thinking in Java is definitely the thinking person�s choice in a Java book.�

DWR Java AJAX Applications

AJAX enables rich desktop-like user interfaces in the browser and enables interactive interfaces that can even replace traditional user interfaces. DWR (Direct Web Remoting) is an Open Source Java framework for building AJAX applications. DWR's main idea is to hide AJAX implementation details, like XMLHttpRequest, from developers. By using DWR, you can concentrate on developing the application and business objects and leave AJAX details behind the scenes where they belong. DWR allows server-side Java classes to be used in the browser and javascript functions to be used on the server (Reverse AJAX).

This book will show competent Java programmers how to work with DWR to create powerful AJAX applications. It starts with a tutorial on DWR's main features and functions. Then it covers setting up the development environment. Finally, it concludes with some sample applications.

The later chapters are full of example code for sample applications, to aid comprehension.

Java EE and .NET Interoperability

Evolving Web services standards and technologies offer limited interoperability when it comes to security, management, and other important application characteristics. Successful interoperability solutions require comprehensive integration strategies that go beyond simple connections. The capability to mitigate security and reliability risks and transactional support is critical to interoperability.
Java EE and .NET Interoperability addresses issues encountered during the integration process, such as a diverse technology set, incompatible APIs, and disparate environment maintenance. The experienced authors outline strategies, approaches, and best practices, including messaging, Web services, and integration-related frameworks and patterns. The book also introduces readers to Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), the building block for scalable and reliable enterprise integration solutions.
