Modern Java 21+: The Next-Level Upgrade
Wed, 24 April, 4:30 PM - 5:30 PM GMT+5:30
With much of the industry finally migrating to Java 11, 17, or 21, it’s time to learn about many of the newer features you can use in your code. None of the changes since Java 8 have been as dramatic as the move to functional programming, but collectively the latest capabilities can really streamline the way you work. This talk summarizes several of them, like records and record patterns, sealed classes and interfaces, switch expressions, the HTTP client API, pattern matching for switch, and more, using them together in an app to see how they interact and improve your Java coding experience.
