Getting up to Speed With Java 9
Java 9 is by far the most significant update of the Java language. We can view Java 9 changes in three parts: improvements, additions, and advances. Quite a few things we could do in Java 8 or earlier have been improved, there are a few new additions, and of course the most noted change the module system or Jigsaw.
In this hands-on workshop we will give into all these three areas, discuss the significance, look at code examples, and most important practice the concepts using concrete exercises. At the end of this workshop you will be able to gauge the efforts necessary for your project to successfully adopt and make use of Java 9.
