Dynamic Proxies in Java

Don't repeat yourself. The mantra of the effective Java programmer. Dynamic proxies get us there quicker.

Of all the things that we could learn this month, why dynamic proxies?

Back in 1996, we could learn the entire Java ecosystem in a week with Bruce Eckel's "Thinking in Java".

Fast-forward to 2020 and the volume of information is overwhelming.

Java is still quite easy to learn, especially if we focus on the most essential tools. Start with the syntax, then object-orientation, flow control, collections and Java 8 streams. Design patterns hold everything together.

But there is more, much more.

To become a true Java Specialist, we need to also master the underpinnings of this great platform. How else can we develop systems that take advantage of the power of Java?

Dynamic proxies are such a tool. We can save thousands of lines of repetitive code with a single class. By taking a thorough look at how they work, we will recognize good use cases for them in our systems.

Dynamic proxies are not an everyday tool. They may come in handy only half a dozen times in our career. But when they fit, they save us an incredible amount of effort. I once managed to replace over half a million code statements with a single dynamic proxy. Powerful stuff.

This course is for intermediate to advanced Java programmers who want to get to "guru" status. It is not suitable for beginners in Java.

Every section has tough exercises for us to solve, together with walkthroughs.

We hope you enjoy this course as much as I enjoyed creating it for you!

Let the dynamic proxy games begin!

Frequently Asked Questions


How long do I have access to a fully paid course?
How does lifetime access sound? After enrolling, you have unlimited access to this course for as long as you like - across any and all devices you own. Furthermore, if we move to another platform, we will offer you a free transfer of your account for all the courses that you have purchased.
Can I pay via PayPal?
Yes, you can for outright purchases, but not for recurring payments such as paying by installments.
Can I get back the EU VAT?
Absolutely. First off, be sure to enter the VAT number in the appropriate field during the payment process. Then contact Teachable and ask them to reimburse you the VAT.
May I share my login details with my colleagues?
Unfortunately not. The terms of usage are for a single license. Teachable tracks your progress through the curriculum, so you won't know how much you have watched. We offer discounts on bulk licenses by one company. Please contact us for bulk licensing.
May we use the course for running in-house courses?
You may, as long as each of the students in the class has a valid license for that course. For example, some companies run lunch time Design Patterns study groups using our material. This is an effective way to learn. Please contact us for bulk licensing.
What if I am unhappy with the course?
We would never want you to be unhappy! If you are unsatisfied with your purchase, contact us in the first 14 days to tell us what you are unhappy about, and we will give you a full refund and deregister you from the course.
When does the course start and finish?
The course starts now and never ends! It is a completely self-paced online course - you decide when you start and when you finish. We do recommend putting time aside and setting goals to complete the course.
