Java: Development and Evolution
Although some believe Java is dying, developments such as the upcoming release of Java 9 and the strength of the Java community tell another story.

This Guide focuses on the best approaches to reduce overhead during migration, an efficient method that teams working with Microservices can communicate with each other, and the best hosts for your applications.
