Java 25 is the latest release with wide-ranging long-term support. It's a doozy but new releases followed hot on its heels and delivered a lot, particularly Java 28:
- from module imports to improved pattern matching
- from structured concurrency to PEM and HTTP/3
- from incubating lazy constants and a JSON API to previewing primitive patterns and value classes (!)
- from faster launches and better performance to quantum-resistant encryption
There are plenty of features in the language, API, and runtime to discuss - whether new, improved, or finalized. So let's go over them!
▚Slides
Here's the current version of the slides.
I also embedded them below. If they're focussed, you can navigate with arrow keys or swipes (they're two-dimensional, with chapters on the horizontal axis and chapter content layed out vertically). Use Page Up/Down for linearized order and ? for more shortcuts.
▚Video
Here's a good recording of the talk. I hope you'll like it.
▚Upcoming Presentations
In the coming months, I'll present this talk at Øredev and a few other conferences. If you're there as well, I'd love to meet you - I'm always up for a chat. 😁 Just flag me down when you see me. (This includes chat rooms.)
▚Past Presentations
I gave this talk a few times before. See below for links to slides (as they were at that very event), videos, and other information.
