Since JDK 9, there has been a release of the core Java platform every six months. This has led to more features being delivered more quickly in Java than ever before in its 25-year history.
In this workshop, we'll explore the new features in modern Java development. Specifically, from the Java language we'll cover:
- Local variable type inference
- Switch expressions
- Text blocks
- Records
- Pattern matching for instanceof
- Sealed classes
We'll also look at the important changes to the JVM and core class libraries that continue to make Java the most popular programming language on the planet
