This course will give you all the knowledge and skills for your transition from Java project to the Java Platform Module System (JPMS or “module system”).

The Java Platform Module System (JPMS) is the most significant change introduced with the release of Java 9. The JPMS provides a variety of benefits for large-scale projects including increased security, better management of dependencies and isolation of libraries, and a service provision and loading facility.

In this five hour video course, the author brings you the skills, knowledge, and understanding needed to start new projects in the JPMS framework and to solve the often tricky problem of migrating existing projects in an incremental fashion to full modularity. This course will also help with the Java 11 certification exam.

About the Instructor

Simon Roberts wrote his first program in 1978, and was a programmer writing in a variety of assembly and high-level languages for a dozen years before working for Sun Microsystems from 1995 to 2004.

While at Sun he created training courses on a diverse range of Java topics and developed the original Sun Certified Java Programmer and Developer exams.

Since leaving Sun in 2004, he spends most of his time helping people improve their skills in Java, Scala, Python, and JavaScript, offering training in classroom, recorded video, and live web-based formats.
