Modern Java can feel overwhelming. If you don’t have any experience with Java since Java 8 (or at all), features like structured concurrency or pattern matching might sound exciting, but also scary: “How do I even get started with that?”
Fear not! In this session Marit and Piotr will explain to you the new exciting things and also show you how to use them in your IDE, so that the next day you can start having fun and profit with modern Java in your favorite tools on your own.
