Modern Java in Action: Lambdas, streams, functional and reactive programming





This book is a valuable resource for developers who already know the basics of Java. It helps you improve your Java skills by teaching you about the latest features and techniques. You'll learn about things like the Streams API, the Java Module System, and new ways to handle concurrency. Plus, it shows you how functional programming can make your code easier to read and maintain. Here's a quick overview of each section of the book: Part 1 - Fundamentals: Covers the latest Java features from versions 8 to 11, including concepts like behavior parameterization and lambda expressions. Part 2 - Functional-Style Data Processing with Streams: Introduces the Streams API for functional-style data processing, explaining how to work with streams, collect data, and perform parallel data processing. Part 3 - Effective Programming with Streams and Lambdas: Teaches you how to use streams and lambdas effectively. Topics include improvements to the collection API, refactoring, testing, debugging, and creating domain-specific languages with lambdas. Part 4 - Everyday Java: Explores common Java features introduced in Java 8 and later, such as Optional, the Date and Time API, default methods, and the Java Module System. Part 5 - Enhanced Java Concurrency: Discusses new concurrency features in Java 8 and beyond, including CompletableFuture and reactive programming, along with the underlying concepts. Part 6 - Functional Programming and Future Java Evolution: Covers functional programming in Java, including techniques, the integration of object-oriented and functional programming, and hints at the future of Java in this regard.

RabbitMQ Clusters with Spring Boot and Docker

  Overview RabbitMQ is an open-source message broker that plays a vital role in modern distributed systems and microservices architectures. It acts as a middleman, enabling communication between different components of an application or multiple applications. As a message broker, RabbitMQ facilitates the exchange of messages between sender and receiver nodes, promoting loose coupling and asynchronous communication. Developed using the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP), RabbitMQ offers a robust and flexible solution for handling queues, ensuring that messages are delivered reliably and efficiently across various services and nodes. Its scalability, high availability, and support for multiple messaging patterns make it a popular choice for building decoupled, fault-tolerant, and scalable applications. In this short article, we will create a highly available RabbitMQ infrastructure by connecting to multiple RabbitMQ clusters. Click   here   for more details

Physicists who built ultrafast ‘attosecond’ lasers win Nobel Prize

Credits: BBVA Foundation, Kenneth Ruona/Lund University, Ohio State University This year’s Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to three physicists — Pierre Agostini at Ohio State University, US, Ferenc Krausz at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Garching, Germany, and Anne L’Huillier at Lund University, Sweden — for their research into attosecond pulses of light. Attosecond physics  allows scientists to look at the very smallest particles at the very shortest timescales (an attosecond is one-quintillionth of a second, or one-billionth of a nanosecond). The winners all developed experiments to be able to produce these ultrafast laser pulses, which can be used to probe our world at the smallest scales and have applications across chemistry, biology and physics.
