Modern Java introduces major enhancements that impact the core Java technologies and APIs at the heart of the Java platform. Many old Java idioms are no longer needed, and new features and programming paradigms can make you far more effective. However, navigating these changes can be challenging. Core Java for the Impatient, Fourth Edition, is a complete yet concise guide that reflects all changes through Java SE 21, Oracle's latest Long-Term Support (LTS) release. Written by Cay S. Horstmann--author of the classic two-volume Core Java--this indispensable tutorial offers a faster, easier pathway for learning modern Java. Horstmann covers everything working developers need to know, including the powerful concepts of lambda expressions and streams, modern constructs such as records and sealed classes, and sophisticated concurrent programming techniques. Given the size and scope of Java 21, there's plenty to cover, but it's presented in small chunks organized for quick access and easy understanding, with plenty of practical insights and sample code to help you quickly apply all that's new. Test code as you create it with JShellImprove your object-oriented design with records and sealed classesEffectively use text blocks, switch expressions, and pattern matchingUnderstand functional programming with lambda expressionsStreamline and optimize data management with the Streams APIUse structured techniques, threadsafe data structures, and virtual threads for effective concurrent programmingWork with the modularized Java API and third-party modulesTake advantage of API improvements for working with collections, input/output, regular expressions, and processes Whether you're an experienced developer just getting started with modern Java, or have been programming with Java for years, this guide will help you write more robust, efficient, and secure Java code.

Copilot Pro enables you to be more creative and productive, but using generative AI requires a whole new way of thinking--most users try once or twice, get poor results and give up. This book teaches them what they don't know and helps them get started with the right skills. Copilot Pro adds generative AI experiences into the most used Microsoft applications--Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and OneNote, enabling users to be more productive and creative by generating first drafts, editing and improving their work, easily understanding and finding pieces of information in large documents, and gaining new insights. It also allows users to generate text and images in a browser and via a mobile app, using the latest AI models. This is a completely new way of thinking and working--like having your own personal "enthusiastic intern" working side by side with you every day to take on the mundane and time-consuming tasks, freeing you up for more interesting and creative work. Generative AI has been everywhere in the media, with a huge hype cycle, but most everyday workers don't understand how it can be applied to their day-to-day work in a practical and transformative way. This will follow the "Step by Step" series format, taking the user through a series of steps they can follow to learn practical skills and understand what's possible. The nature of generative AI is that the results vary every time, so the book will provide several different examples of each skill to illustrate the variances and possibilities and help the reader find examples that are most relevant to them, to build their understanding and knowledge. Copilot Pro is designed for the consumer or home user and was only announced and made available in January 2024. The uptake of generative AI is more rapid than anything we have seen with any other technology, with the free version of Copilot already having had 5 billion images created and 5 billion chats conducted as at the end of January 2024, both doubling quarter over quarter. There is very little in Microsoft learning resources available yet on Copilot, and there is a huge demand for learning in this space. People don't know what they don't know and need help with the new way of thinking required to use this technology in practical and effective everyday ways. The author, Lisa Crosbie, has built a community of learners through her YouTube channel, where she is known for her ability to explain technology in a way that makes sense to non-technical users.
