Improve Java Coding
The journey of improving coding skills continues even after learning programming. The key question becomes: How can one write code professionally while addressing critical concerns such as code maintainability, code re-usability, security issues, and memory leaks? This book focuses on real-world code examples, aiming to avoid unnecessary, boring, extended theoretical discussions. Instead, it goes straight to the point in coding and offers improvements with clear explanations.Any building is eventually finished, but successful software is never truly finished. New features need to be built, causing the code base to grow over time, and concerns about maintainability grow with it if programmers don't pay serious attention to it.If you asked an expert and a junior programmer to write code for a specific program, you would realize that the expert accomplishes the goal with significantly less code than the junior programmer. Every extra line of code written unnecessarily creates more issues in terms of maintainability, opening the doors to hacking and security vulnerabilities.The problem with coding is not that poorly written code doesn't work; the real problem is that it does. Therefore, it can be challenging for an inexperienced programmer to realize what a better version could be.In this book, I will provide you with common mistakes through different pieces of code that function correctly, but I will also explain why it is crucial to avoid that kind of coding, even though it works.Before diving into the chapters, let's highlight a few code issues to help you determine whether this book will benefit you. The code examples provide a preview of this book's approach to assist you in improving your Java coding. This book systematically addresses issues in the following steps: Presenting common code mistakes through a simple piece of code.Running the code to reveal unexpected outcomes.Explain the case and provide code improvements.This approach ensures you understand how to manage similar code challenges in your programming work.

Effective Go Recipes
Programmers love Go because it is lightweight, easy to work with, and easy to read. Go gives you the benefits of dynamically typed languages (speed of development) while keeping the upsides of strongly typed languages (security and performance). Go is a simple language, but programming in Go is about more than just mastering syntax. There's an art to using Go effectively. Squeeze out the full use of advanced networking and multi-core power for which Go was designed. Save precious coding hours with recipes that help you manage objects, collect garbage, and safely use memory. Tackle Unicode, concurrency, and serialization with ease. All the clean, reusable solutions you need for a wide variety of problems common to Go development. Outfitted with these recipes, your next apps will be more polished and more maintainable than ever. Start out by tackling time and see how the Go time packager provides types that will do most of the heavy lifting for you. Next, work on recipes tailored to the nuances of processing text, like normalizing strings to avoid bugs. From there, whip up some functions on-the-fly and store functions in variables and data structures. Ever wondered why Go seems to be peppered with error handling? Working through the next recipes, you'll discover the benefits, which include more robust code. In the section on HTTP, you'll learn tricks like running multiple HTTP servers on the same port and setting timeouts. With concurrency recipes, you'll limit the number of goroutines to improve performance, give your code awareness of timeouts, and decide when to keep your code sequential instead of making it concurrent. Throughout the book, you'll make Go sizzle following simple recipes and tweaking them to fit your own apps. Using tools like strong typing and concurrency primitives, build a Go codebase that stays maintainable at scale. What You Need: You should know the Go language syntax and have some experience in programming. You will need a Go SDK, a Git client, and for some of the chapters, a C compiler.
