Whoami
•Software Architect in the Dynatrace,
•Worked as Software Developer and Team Lead,
•10+ years of experience with Java – Enterprise Application mostly,
•Main area of interest: optimization and application performance
APM
What this workshop is about?
•Showing examples on good, better and the best solutions to some common design problems,
•Signaling some commons programming anti-patterns you should avoid,
•Having fun solving simple Java programming puzzles
What this workshop is not about?
•Learning programming from scratch,
•Learning Java from the beginning,
•Solving all possible Java problems
Design patterns
POJO with multiple instance members
Telescoping constructor pattern
JavaBean pattern
Builder pattern
Example
The moral
• There are many ways of implementing the same algorithm/functionality,
• There are reusable patterns that you should use (on every possible level: implementation, integration, deployment etc.
Exercise 1
Specification
• Given the lists of strings as an input, method groupBy in the Example1 class should return map with all strings that occurred in the input list as key and number of string occurrences as value,
Example:
For a given input list {„John”, „Aaron”, „John” „Adam”, „Adele”} method should return following map { {„John”, 2}, {„Aaron”, 1}, {„Adam”, 1}, {„Adele”, 1}}
• Method should throw IllegalArgumentException if elements list is null,
• Method should return empty map if elements list is empty.
Functionalprogramming
Java7-ish vs. stream-like version
But… Is it safe?
Benchmark results
Moral
• Functional programming is more about coding convenience,
• You should not mix imperative and functional programming styles,
• Developer must be familiar with how streams work and behave (e.g. parallel stream execution),
• Must be used with caution (see: 10 Subtle Mistakes When Using the Streams API)
Generics
What you should know about generics?
•Compile time type check rather than runtime check,
•Generic types are invariant (compare with covariant arrays)
•List<Integer> is not subtype of List<Number>,
•Can be confusing when implementing API contract,
•Use wildcards with caution.
Example
Moral
•Always try to get into your API consumer shoes,
•Remember the rule:
Producer – <? extends V>
Consumer - <? super V>
Exercise 2
Specification
• Implement union method in the Exercise2 class, so that it returns set being an union of two sets passed as an argument,
• Change it’s definition so that the following line of code compiles
• Method should throw IllegalArgumentException if any set passed as an argument is null,
• Remember that producer – super, consumer – extends…
Set<Number> result = Excercise2.union(new HashSet<Integer>(), new HashSet<Number>());
