Java Immersion "Accelerate from 8" Deep Dive

Java is one of the most productive computer languages in the history of computer languages. Recently they changed the cadence of its releases. Before we would wait for years before the next release came out. But after version 9, the cadence is now twice every year. New features are released in an incremental process with each version: first preview, second preview, and official release. That means for any new item that is to be released, it undergoes a trial process before it is official. That also means, before we know it, we will soon be at Java 20 with a lot of new cool stuff!

So the question is, why are many of us at 8? Well, that answer can be because of application server licenses, don't rock the boat mentality, or a whole host of other reasons.

In this 3-day immersive workshop, we will refresh on some basic Java concepts but we will focus on Java concepts that will help you ramp up on this new and latest developments in Java. At the end of the wonderful 3-day session, you should be fluent in all new Java advancements and have strong compelling reasons to convince management to finally upgrade your JVMs.
