Understanding Java from the JVM up gives you a solid foundation to grow your expertise and take on advanced techniques for performance, concurrency, containerization, and more.In The Well-Grounded Java Developer, Second Edition you will learn: The new Java module system and why you should use it Bytecode for the JVM, including operations and classloading Performance tuning the JVM Working with JavaGÇÖs built-in concurrency and expanded options Programming in Kotlin and Clojure on the JVM Maximizing the benefits from your build/CI tooling with Maven and Gradle Running the JVM in containers Planning for future JVM releases The Well-Grounded Java Developer, Second Edition introduces both the modern innovations and timeless fundamentals you need to know to become a Java master. Authors Ben Evans, Martijn Verburg, and Jason Clark distil their decades of experience as Java Champions, veteran developers, and key contributors to the Java ecosystem into this clear and practical guide. The Well-Grounded Java Developer, Second Edition is a complete revision of the classic original with the latest innovations of the Java platform. It upgrades your existing Java skills with both JVM fundamentals like bytecode, and powerful new features such as modules and concurrency models. YouGÇÖll broaden your understanding of whatGÇÖs possible by exploring Kotlin and other JVM languages, and learn how functional programming can offer a powerful new perspective. Each concept is illustrated with hands-on examples, including a fully modularized application/library, build setups for Maven and Gradle, and creating your own multithreaded application

In Effective Software Testing you will learn how to: Engineer tests with a much higher chance of finding bugs Read code coverage metrics and use them to improve your test suite Understand when to use unit tests, integration tests, and system tests Use mocks and stubs to simplify your unit testing Think of pre-conditions, post-conditions, invariants, and contracts Implement property-based tests Utilize coding practices like dependency injection and hexagonal architecture that make your software easier to test Write good and maintainable test code Effective Software Testing teaches you a systematic approach to software testing. YouGÇÖll master easy-to-apply techniques to create strong test suites that are specifically engineered for your code. Following real-world use cases and detailed code samples, youGÇÖll soon be engineering tests that find the bugs hiding in edge cases and the parts of code you would never think of testing! Along the way, youGÇÖll develop an intuition for testing that can save years of learning by trial and error. Go beyond unit tests! Great software testing makes the entire development process more efficient, from understanding your code before you write it to catching bugs in tricky corner cases.Effective Software Testing teaches you a systematic approach to software testing.
