Session!
Java 9, 10 & 11
With the quick moving 6-month Java train releases, you like many Java developers and organizations may have remained on Java 8 waiting for the next Long-Term-Support (LTS) release. Well, Java 11 is here so it is time to begin the adoption and upgrading. Java 9 was a HUGE release with many impactful features like the module system, jLink, jShell and a hand full of new Project Coin language features. While Java 10 & 11 were small in comparison based on feature count their influence will be felt. The var keyword, Graal and container awareness features along with lambda, thread and garbage collection enhancements will improve development and operations. This session will provide the knowledge and experience you need to be prepared to migrate your applications from Java 8 to Java 11 successfully.
