More than three years
after the release of Java 8, the next version is now just around the corner. You may have heard about Java 9’s module system, but there's
even more to this new version.
The course will teach you
how to leverage the power of multithreading in Java, before moving on to
look at the benefits of modularising larger projects. We start of on
our path by building a Twitter application that leverages the Twitter
public API. We will start with a trivial single threaded implementation,
pulling a single hashtag, and storing tweets in a text file. We will
then accelerate the application by leveraging multi-threading, to
download and process hashtags concurrently. Functional programming will
be used for processing data streams.
By the end of this course, you will be familiar with Java 9 Performance Optimization and Modularization.
