Java 9 to Java 16 - An overview of modern Java Features
Details
Abstract:
In a recent survey, 85% of developers are still using Java 8 or older. When Java 8 was released in 2014, changes would come in large quantities at each release. But when the release cadence changed to every six months, many developers could not follow the changes to the language. This presentation will cover the main changes to each version after Java 8, including Variable Type Inference (var), Records, Switch expressions, Text Blocks, Sealed Classes, Hidden Classes, Pattern Matching, and much more.
