The Java I/O API is a fundamental API of the JDK, at the basis of database access APIs and Web access APIs. In this course, Java 8 Fundamentals: Input/Output, you’ll learn all the details of this API, both the theoretical aspects on slides and the patterns during extended live coding sessions. First, you’ll delve into code in action, showing you real life problem solving techniques. Next, you’ll explore how to read and write characters, how to create complex files mixing text and raw bytes, and how to create archive files using the ZIP format. Finally, you’ll discover how to use serialization efficiently and how to deal with errors due to obsolete serialized objects. By the end of this course, you’ll have the necessary knowledge to deal with complex Java I/O problems in existing legacy applications and new developments.

Author Description:
Passionate about programming computers for over 20 years, Jose made his debut in assembler and C, C for SIMD parallel machines before adopting Java as an object-oriented language, indispensable to most major modern applications. He brings his expertise and capacity for analysis and synthesis to many projects, mainly in the lower layers, close to the data, but also on complex UI design, or in the browser.
