Advanced Java
A Practical Guide to Collections, JSP, Spring Framework, JDBC and Spring Boot

Take your Java programming knowledge further with Advanced Java, a technical guide to important Java concepts, enterprise application technologies, database connectivity, and the Spring ecosystem.

Written by Abhijit Kumar Misra, this book explores a range of topics relevant to readers who want to deepen their understanding of Java programming and become familiar with technologies used in Java-based application development.

From the Java Collections Framework and lambda expressions to Spring Boot and transaction management, the book combines conceptual explanations with code examples, chapter summaries, and review exercises to support learning and revision.

Java Collections and Generics

• Understand generics, generic classes, generic methods, bounded type parameters, and wildcards.

• Explore the List, Set, and Map interfaces and their implementations, including ArrayList, LinkedList, HashSet, TreeSet, HashMap, LinkedHashMap, and TreeMap.

Lambda Expressions

• Learn lambda expression syntax, parameters, type inference, and return values.

• Explore functional interfaces and the use of lambda expressions with Java collections.

JSP, JSTL, and JavaBeans

• Study JSP architecture, scripting elements, implicit objects, and JSTL tags.

• Explore JavaBeans, JSP standard actions, session tracking techniques, and custom tags.

Spring Framework and Aspect-Oriented Programming

• Develop an understanding of the Spring Framework and its fundamental concepts.

• Explore Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP), including aspects, advice, pointcuts, and cross-cutting concerns.

JDBC and Database Access

• Understand JDBC architecture and database connectivity.

• Explore JDBC drivers, connection management, Spring JDBC, JdbcTemplate, and database operations.

Spring Boot and Transaction Management

• Get acquainted with Spring Boot application development and configuration.

• Examine database integration, application development examples, and transaction propagation in Spring.

The book includes programming examples, explanations of key concepts, chapter summaries, references for further reading, and chapter-end exercises. These features can help readers review important topics, reinforce their understanding, and revisit concepts while studying or practising Java development.

This book is intended for readers who already have some familiarity with Java and want to explore additional language features, web technologies, database connectivity, and Spring-based development. It may be useful to Java students, programming learners with prior experience, and developers revising these topics.

Explore the technologies, study the examples, and strengthen your understanding of Advanced Java.
