You can't rest one minute. Java is always Advancing!

Java’s evolution is remarkable, and the leap from JDK 17 to the current version brings a wealth of powerful features to elevate your projects. Join us for an exciting session to explore select JEPs (Java Enhancement Proposals) introduced up to today, diving into their use cases and practical benefits for your work or open-source initiatives.

What You’ll Learn:
How to enable and utilize advanced Java features introduced in JDK 23.
Real-world demonstrations of cutting-edge updates, including:

  • Stream Gatherers: Handle complex data streams with ease.
  • Statements Before super(): Test invariants without constructing objects.
  • Stable Values
  • Unnamed Variables and Parameters: Enhance code readability and maintainability.
  • Launch Multi-File Source-Code Programs: Rapidly prototype with multiple source files.
  • Implicitly Declared Classes & Enhanced Main Methods: Streamline application development.
  • Updates on switch Expressions: We will discuss where we are with pattern matching as well as dealing with primitives
  • I may also sneak in something about my never-ending love for SimpleWebServer.
