Exploring the last year of Java
Thanks to the new release schedule, we’ve seen 3 releases of Java within about a year - 11, 12, and 13. In this live-coding session, we explore the most useful features they bring, including extensions to the Collections API, updates to IO/NIO, String improvements, support for single-file source-code programs, switch expressions, text blocks, new HTTP/2 client, and more. Come and learn what’s new in Java in the last year, and how you can use it!
