TOPIC ABSTRACT :

Both generics and annotations have been around in Java for a while, yet, these two concepts pose some challenges and programmers are always looking for ways to understand and use them in better ways. In this presentation will first take a look at the good, bad, and the ugly parts of generics and how to prudently use them. Then we will look at the purpose of annotations, when to use them, when not to use them, and, when it’s the right choice, how to create our own custom annotations.
