Cruising Along with Java: From Java 9 to 25

Java has been evolving at a fast but steady pace, with six months releases. Much has changed in the language, bringing conciseness, elegance, and above all better modeling facilities to design software. In this hands-on workshop come experience first hand the facilities offered by modern Java and learn how we can benefit from it on our software projects. In addition to exploring the newer syntax, we will peek into the semantics and the bytecode to understand the behavior of the code, its effect on performance and interoperability to other languages on the JVM.

Each attendee will receive a copy of the book on the topic written by the presenter. Workshop Requirements: Please have these installed on your system well ahead of the workshop:

• git client
