In our previous article we covered very basic concepts on traits. In this article we will expand on our initial work and explore the inherent power of traits. As we said here just like the Interfaces traits can have abstract methods. Also traits can extend other traits just like Interfaces can extend other interfaces. We [...]

Java doesn’t allow multiple inheritance for the fear of Deadly Diamond of Death. And to circumvent this Java introduced interfaces where in a class can extend only one other class, but implement multiple interfaces. These interfaces don’t contain any implementations. (This is going to change with Defender Methods in Java 8). Lot of other languages [...]

Inheritance in Scala is quite similar to the way it is in Java. The overriding aspects are a bit more detailed because in Scala there are not just methods to override but also vals, vars. There are a few restrictions added in Scala like: Overriding classes must use the “override” modifier. In Java one can [...]

We all have used Thread, Runnable to develop multi-threaded applications in Java. While we used Thread and Runnable we had a lot of work to do in terms of assigning the task to the Thread, starting the thread to waiting for it to complete the execution to get the result from each thread. In Java [...]

Lot of us know that writing multi-threaded/concurrent applications in Java is not just about creating Thread objects and passing in Runnable implementations. Few of them mastered the art of concurrent programming and explored alternatives not only provided by Java but other languages like Scala, Groovy, Clojure. But quite a few of us have tried to [...]
