Keeping Up With Java
14:10/14:50
It seems like keeping up with Java nowadays is an enormous task. Gone is the era of big, delayed Java releases. We’re now getting a new major release every 6 months. What’s up with that? You’re probably still developing on Java 8, even though Java 12 is already available. Join this session to get an overview of what’s new in Java since Java 8. We’ll give an overview of the module system and other new features in Java 9, the local-variable type inference feature (`var` in Java 10), and the new HttpClient API (Java 11). It’s time to embrace the newfound agility of the Java platform!
