Reading Time: 3 minutes Hi there! Today, we are going to talk about Futures in Java. We will also look at some of the best practices related to them. What are Java Futures and why do we need them? To understand this better, firstly we must understand what is blocking and why is it bad for our software. BLOCKING – A blocking/long-running call occurs when a thread is tied Continue Reading
Reading Time: 2 minutes Lambda expressions were one of the new features that was introduced in Java 8. They help clean up verbose code by providing a concise and local way to reduce redundancy by keeping code short and self-explanatory. In addition to saving code, Java’s lambda expressions are important in functional programming. They allow developers to write in a functional style by acting as functions without belonging to Continue Reading
Reading Time: 3 minutes Hi guys, with release of Java 8 we get new features like lambda functions, streams etc. and in this blog we are going to have an overview of Streams.Streams reduces the effort for using and accessing the elements in any Collection. So here we will see what are different types of operation in Streams and when to use them. Streams Definition Streams are used when Continue Reading
Reading Time: 2 minutes Pattern matching in Java using Vavr library.
Reading Time: 5 minutes In Java, we are often tempted towards writing a code which is executed eagerly. There’s a good reason for that – eager code is easy to write and to reason about. But delaying commitments until the last responsible moment is a good agile practice. When executing the code, we can gain performance by being just a little lazy. In this blog, we will try to Continue Reading
Reading Time: 3 minutes Today, while doing my work and having fun programming, I came across a problem that looked pretty easy in the beginning, but after starting doing it, had to take help of Google and read from different sites to get to a nice implementation. So, let’s look at the problem and how to solve it. The Problem Well, you guys probably already have guessed what the Continue Reading
Reading Time: 3 minutes Hello readers! Welcome to another blog in the Java concurrency series. Today, we are going to look at the Reentrant Locks in Java. What it is, how to use it, and mainly, what is the difference between using Reentrant Locks and synchronization. So, let’s dive straight into it. Reentrant Locks Reentrant locks work just like the synchronized locks in java, but have much more facilities Continue Reading
