As Java developers, we pride ourselves on handling edge cases in our code, but what about edge cases in the *Java language itself*?
Join us for an interactive session with certification book author Jeanne Boyarsky as she uncovers real-world Java “gotchas”, quirks, and surprises you’re likely to encounter in your day-to-day coding (not just puzzlers for entertainment). You’ll explore fresh language twists introduced in Java 17 through Java 25 (scheduled for Sept 16 release), along with a few timeless classics, and leave with sharper instincts to recognize and avoid these hidden pitfalls in your own applications.

Thunder Talk: **Introduction to AI Agents**
Speaker: Frank Greco, NYJavaSIG Founder, Java Champion
Ever wonder what the heck AI agents are? This short session breaks down how *tools* (function-calling) and *reasoning models* combine to form agents\*\*,\*\* ie, intelligent entities that can complete tasks on their own. We’ll start by clarifying what tools are, then show how agents build on that concept using LangChain4j.
