Jfokus Duchess meetup - with Jforum : Java 21 language features and GraalVM

We are excited to announce a meetup together with Jforum meetup group and hosted by Jfokus at Stockholm Waterfront Congress Centre in room C1 on level 2.

Since we have two excellent women speakers for this event we though you might all want to join this event instead of keeping our own smaller one.

But during the pre-mingle, please come and meet some other Duchess members if you want some women in tech - mingle.

Agenda
18.30 - Doors open, food and drinks will be served

19.00 - Java 21 Language Features and Beyond: A Roadmap of Innovations by Ana Maria Mihalceanu

Embark on an exploration of Java 21's groundbreaking language features. From a simplified beginning with unnamed classes and instance main methods to using string templates, record patterns, and pattern matching, this session empowers you to create efficient, future-proof code. Join this talk to gain a practical understanding of the latest Java language advancements so that you can apply them to your applications.

19:45 - Supercharge your Java applications with GraalVM by Alina Yurenko
You’ve probably heard of GraalVM, and how great it is at the reducing startup time and memory consumption of Java applications, but do you know how to use it to the fullest in practice? In this hands-on session you’ll see how to develop and test Native Image applications, configure using popular libraries, optimize performance to the maximum, and more!

20:30 After the talks we will be able to join the Jfokus mingle at the same venue (https://www.jfokus.se/).

Looking forward to seeing you!
