6:15-7:45: To Java [n] and Beyond!
Java 25 has been released, but the Java release train continues chugging along with Java 26.
In this presentation, we will start with a quick review of the key changes from 17-21 and how they have improved developer experience, performance, and support Java applications in production.
From there, we will transition to changes to Java post-21 and how the various changes are bringing important stores 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 users. Be sure to attend this presentation if you want to keep up!
