Java SE upgrade

During this training, we give an overview of the newest additions to the Java language and the SE libraries. This one-day course at ABIS will get you up to date with all the "what's new"s since Java SE 9.

Java has evolved over 30 years with a lot of new features. Since Java SE 9 (9/2017), newer Java versions now follow every 6 months. Some of them are classified as Long Term Support (LTS) versions like V11, V17, V21 and (coming up) V25.

In this course, we will:

  • provide an overview of the 'new' Java language features since Java SE 9 
  • learn about the Java Platform Module System (JPMS)
  • discuss additions to the Java SE libraries
  • give an overview of the latest JVM features

Très chouette cours. Peut-être pas assez poussé. C'était assez "novice"
