To Java 28 and Beyond!

The Java release train has no brakes! Java 28 has arrived, and with it comes a whole set of new features and goodies!

In this presentation, we will start with a quick review of the key changes from JDK 17 through JDK 25 and how they have improved the developer experience, performance, and support for Java applications in production.

From there, we will transition to changes in Java post-JDK 25 and how they are bringing several important stories into focus, including improved concurrency support, data-oriented programming, native support, and more!

The Java platform is evolving quickly to keep pace with the current needs of its users. Be sure to attend this presentation if you want to keep up!
