Build elegant, responsive, and stable Java Virtual Machine-based client applications (Fat Clients) with modern user interfaces. This book introduces JavaFX as a frontend technology and utilizes Kotlin instead of Java for coding program artifacts to boost code expressiveness and maintainability. Author Peter Späth employs a hands-on approach, providing practical examples and code to demonstrate each concept. Mid-level Java programming knowledge and a basic understanding of Kotlin are the only prerequisites; experience with JavaFX and frontend coding is not essential.JavaFX is a modern frontend programming toolkit equipped with containers, menus, buttons, sliders, text fields, and various other controls necessary for communicating with your users, all of which are covered here. Despite its name, JavaFX applications can be coded with programming languages other than Java. The central requirement is that any language targeting JavaFX compiles to artifacts runnable on a Java Virtual Machine. Over the course of this book, yoüll learn firsthand why Kotlin, with its elegant and concise syntax, is a perfect match.After completing Frontend Development With JavaFX and Kotlin, you will be able to build frontends of mid-to-high level complexity, depending on present Java skills, and use Kotlin as a language for addressing GUI programming needs and accessing the JavaFX API.What You Will LearnCreate a JavaFX + Kotlin development pipeline for Gradle, Eclipse and IntelliJUse JavaFX scenes, stages, and nodes/controlsMaster JavaFX event handling, effects, and animation using KotlinUnderstand the JavaFX Concurrency Framework and Kotlin Coroutines for JavaFXWho This Book Is ForLow- to mid-level Java or Kotlin developers with or without JavaFX experience who wish to learn how to build JavaFX applications with Kotlin.

Master the fundamentals of Spring Framework 6 while learning from the real-world experiences of Spring experts. Over the course of this book, you'll learn how to leverage Spring 6 in tandem with the Kotlin programming language to build complex enterprise applications from top to bottom. From monoliths to cloud native apps for streaming microservices, yoüll gain insight into every aspect of the process, including transactions, data access, persistence, and web and presentation tiers. As you progress through the book, the authors demonstrate how to run Kotlin with a single command, deploy new utility methods in String class, use Local-Variable Syntax for Lambda Parameters Nested Based Access Control, read/write strings to and from files, and using Flight Recorder. Also, a whole new generation of dependencies are available, and yoüll see exactly how to make optimal use of them. A full sample application will show you how to apply Spring 6¿s new tools and techniques and see how they work together. After reading this comprehensive book, you'll be ready to build your own Spring applications using Kotlin. What You Will LearnExplore what's new in Spring Framework 6 and the Kotlin APIs it supportsLeverage a new generation of dependenciesBuild complex enterprise monoliths, cloud-native applications, and microservicesMaster data access, persistence, and transactionsUse with Spring Batch, Integration, and other key Spring modulesIntegrate Spring 6 with Hibernate and other third party APIs and packages Who This Book Is ForExperienced Kotlin and Java software developers and programmers. Some previous experience with Spring is highly recommended.

Welcome to your in-depth professional guide to the open source Eclipse Jakarta EE 10 platform. This book will help you build more complex native enterprise Java-based cloud and other applications that can run in corporate and other mission-critical settings. The majority of the key Jakarta EE 10 APIs or features are dissected in this book, including JSF, JSP, JPA, CDI, REST, Microprofiles, WebSockets, and many more. Along the way, various open source Apache, Eclipse, and other projects are integrated and used for more complete workflows and treatment in general. Jakarta EE 10 comes with a significant number of improvements over Java EE 9 technologies and adopts a series of new technologies. This book starts out with a concise development procedure proposal and shows NetBeans as an alternative IDE to Eclipse. It also talks about versioning, software repositories, and continuous integration techniques. The web tier of enterprise application architectures is covered, including state-of-the-art techniques such as web sockets and front end (JavaScript) related frameworks.The book presents a survey of architecture-related advanced topics, including micro profiles. In a supporting technologies chapter, JSON and XML processing methods are revisited and deepened, and the usage of scripting engines is introduced. A resources chapter discusses enterprise resource integration, such as resource adapters and Hibernate as a mapper between the SQL and the Java world. Also covered is the usage of no-SQL databases. A security chapter shows advanced security enhancement techniques for use of Jakarta EE in corporate environments. The last chapter talks about advanced logging and monitoring techniques, serving both developers and operations staff.What You Will LearnBuild complex Jakarta EE applications that run in corporate or other enterprise settingsCreate a professional development workflow using Jakarta EEBuild more advanced web development applicationsWork with more advanced supporting technologies to increase application maturity and stability in a corporate environment Do enterprise resource integration, including custom resource adaptersUtilize security enhancements of enterprise-level Jakarta EE applicationsLeverage techniques to monitor and log in a corporate environment, including memory usage and performance troubleshootingWho This Book is ForExperienced Java programmers and web developers, especially those with some prior experience with the Java EE platform

Get started with using the new Java MVC 1.0 framework for model, view, and controller development for building modern Java-based web, native, and microservices applications. Beginning Java MVC teaches you the basics, then dives in to models, views, controllers. Next, you learn data binding, events, application types, view engines, and more. You will be given practical examples along the way to reinforce what you have learned. Furthermore, you'll work with annotations, internationalization, security, and deployment. After reading this book, you'll have the know how to build your first full Java-based MVC application. What You Will Learn Discover the Java MVC 1.0 APIs and how to use them Master the Model, View and Controller design pattern Carry out data binding Write events Work with view engines Who This Book Is For Those new to Java MVC 1.0. Some prior experience with Java programming recommended, especially with JSF or Struts.

Android development is hot, and many programmers are interested in joining the fun. However, because this technology is based on Java, you should first obtain a solid grasp of the Java language and its foundational APIs to improve your chances of succeeding as an Android app developer. After all, you will be busy learning the architecture of an Android app, the various Android-specific APIs, and Android-specific tools. If you do not already know Java fundamentals, you will probably end up with a massive headache from also having to quickly cram those fundamentals into your knowledge base. Learn Java for Android Development teaches programmers of any skill level the essential Java language and foundational Java API skills that must be learned to improve the programmer’s chances of succeeding as an Android app developer. Each of the book’s 10 chapters provides an exercise section that gives you the opportunity to reinforce your understanding of the chapter’s material. Answers to the book’s more than 300 exercises are provided in an appendix. Additionally, author Jeff Friesen has created six bonus chapters that you can download from his personal site, located at http://tutortutor.ca/cgi-bin/makepage.cgi?/books/ljfad.Once you complete this book, you will be ready to dive into Android, and you can start that journey by obtaining a copy of Beginning Android 2.
