JShell: The REPL for Java
JShell, introduced in Java 9, is a great experimentation tool, useful for micro-prototyping, and trying out code snippets. In this presentation we will learn the benefits of the tool, when to use it, and how to put that to real good use during development.
In this example driven presentation we will look at writing snippets, creating functions, defining and redefining variable and methods, creating classes, and configuring the tool to meet your desired level of feedback.
