Overview of this book

For more than three decades, Java has been on the forefront of developing robust software that has helped versatile businesses meet their requirements. Being one of the most widely used programming languages in history, it’s imperative for Java developers to discover effective ways of using it in order to take full advantage of the power of the latest Java features. Java 11 Cookbook offers a range of software development solutions with simple and straightforward Java 11 code examples to help you build a modern software system. Starting with the installation of Java, each recipe addresses various problem by explaining the solution and offering insights into how it works. You’ll explore the new features added to Java 11 that will make your application modular, secure, and fast. The book contains recipes on functional programming, GUI programming, concurrent programming, and database programming in Java. You’ll also be taken through the new features introduced in JDK 18.3 and 18.9. By the end of this book, you’ll be equipped with the skills required to write robust, scalable, and optimal Java code effectively.

Best practices for better memory usage

Memory management may never become an issue for you, it might your every waking moment, or you might find yourself in between these two polarities. Most of the time, it is a non-issue for the majority of programmers, especially with the constantly improving garbage-collection algorithms. The G1 garbage collector (default in JVM 9) is definitely a step in the right direction. But there is also a chance you will be called (or will notice yourself) about the application's degrading performance, and that is when you'll learn how well you are equipped to meet the challenge.

This recipe is an attempt to help you avoid such a situation or to get out of it successfully.
