Oracle Author Podcasts

Listen to the authors discuss their new title "The Well-Grounded Java Developer" which offers a fresh and practical look at new Java 7 features, new JVM languages, and the array of supporting technologies you need for the next generation of Java-based software. Ben and Martijn will discuss what they covered with Java 7 features (e.g. Project Coin, try-with-resources, NIO.2 and more) as well as why they covered important topics such as JVM internals, concurrency and performance tuning. The Well-Grounded Java Developer is no longer tied to just one language and the authors also cover why they emphasised a cross-section of emerging JVM-based languages, including Groovy, Scala, and Clojure in this book. Ben and Martijn are also heavily involved in the Java community and Java standards and the OpenJDK. They'll discuss why it's vital for day to day developers to get involved and how it's easier than ever before.
