Know Your Java?

Tue, 22 April

Many of us have significant experience in Java. Yet, from time to time, we get tripped up by some code that doesn’t behave the way we expect. In this presentation, we will examine some of those cases and gain a deeper understanding of the language we use every day. In this highly interactive session, be ready to answer some questions, discuss code behavior, and gain in-depth knowledge of Java's nuances.

Target Audience: This session is primarily aimed at Back-end Developers, as they regularly work with Java and will benefit from a deeper understanding of the language's intricacies to avoid common pitfalls. Software Architects are the secondary audience, as knowing the subtleties of Java behavior can impact architectural decisions and system reliability.
