Getting the Most from Modern Java
About
With the release of JDK 16, we have had eight (yes eight!) versions of Java in three and a half years.
In this session, we’ll explore in detail the following new features and how best to use them (as well as advice on when not to use them):
• Local variable type inference (JDK 10)
• Switch expressions (JDK 12)
• Text blocks (JDK 13)
• Records (JDK 14)
• Pattern matching for instanceof (JDK 14)
• Sealed classes and changes to Records (JDK 15)
At the end of this session, you’ll be all set to write modern Java code!
