New features of Java 10

Hello all! In this blog post I am gonna tell you about the new features of java 10.I am pretty sure all of you have heard of Java 10! Well, some of you might have dive in to Java 10 as well. Noo? Then this blog post will be a good beginning for you to learn about java 10 and its new exciting features. I am not gonna tell you about all the features but I will be focusing on the features that I found more interesting.

1.Local Variable Type Inference
Java 10 onwards Java also will have the 'var' keyword like JavaScript. This allows you to specify a variable without mentioning the data type of that particular variable but Java compiler will identify the real data type of the variable you declared.And also note that this 'var' keyword can only be used when defining variables inside methods and variables inside blocks.Although Java 10 allows the users to define variables with 'var', that doesn't make Java a dynamically typed language because once the type is assigned you are not allowed to change it!

2.Root Certificates
This new feature is evidence for that the JDK 10 was created with a close collaboration of Open JDK. This will provide default set of root authorities which makes Open JDK more appealing to the user.This also minimizes the gap between OpenJDK and Oracle JDK.

3.Garbage Collector Interface
This is another useful feature that came with Java 10.This increases the code isolation of different garbage collectors by this garbage collector interface.This provide better modularity and will be helpful in adding and removing GC.

So that's all I am gonna discuss in this blog post.As I mentioned before, this is obviously not all new about Java 10.For you to get a complete understanding you can refer Oracle's Release Notes.

Getting started with Spring Boot

In this blog post I am gonna give you all an introduction on Spring Boot, an application framework and inversion controller for the java platform. Before diving in to Spring Boot framework, let's get a brief idea about the Spring framework on top of which the Spring Boot was created. Spring is a very popular application framework for java web and enterprise and web applications which was initially written by Rod Johnson.Millions and millions of people around the world use this to make their codes high performing, easily testable and reusable.Spring framework is build on top of the Dependency Injection (DI) concept. What is Dependency Injection? When it comes to a complex java application, the classes should not be depending on one another, in order to reuse our code and to make the unit testing easy.For such situations, dependency injection is used to connect the classes together while making them independent.So what exactly happens here? Let's think of Dependency in...

Getting started with React js

In this blog post, I'm gonna explain you all about React js, a javascript technology that is used to create interactive single page applications.

Noob introduction to Node.js

In this blog post I am gonna give you all a brief idea about Node.js. Earlier JavaScript was purely used for client side scripting, and it was embedded to a html page.But the node js developers use it for server side scripting(to produce the content of dynamic web pages before sending it to the user.) Node.js is an open source, cross platform run-time environment that executes JavaScript code server side. Why node.js? Node.js uses asynchronous programming. When a file request comes a ASP/PHP file would, Send the task to the computer's file system. Wait for the system to open and read the file. Sends the respond back to the client Get ready to handle the next task. But as node.js is using asynchronous programming, it would handle the request in a different manner.It would, Send the task to the computer's file system. Handles the next coming task. Returns the respond of the first task to the client when the system has completed it. In brief it reduces wa...
