Modern Java unleashed: virtual threads revolution & other game-changing features in JDK 21
As Java approaches its 30th anniversary, we’re marking the moment with a Tech Talk you won’t want to miss. On May 21, our colleague Ivan Mihov, Senior Java Engineer at the News UK team, will showcase the standout features of Java 21 – a release that captures the evolution and modern power of one of the world’s most enduring programming languages.
In this session, Ivan will explore the cutting-edge capabilities that are transforming Java development – with a focus on a real-world application and clean, efficient code.
Here’s what to expect:
- Virtual threads: Discover how this groundbreaking feature is reshaping multithreading in Java. Learn how it can dramatically improve resource management in modern web applications and AI tools – backed by live demos and code examples.
- Sequenced collections: Find out how JDK 21 simplifies collection handling and addresses long-standing limitations in the Java ecosystem.
- Pattern matching for switch: Explore the power of cleaner, more intuitive conditional logic through practical use cases.
- Record patterns: Reduce boilerplate and improve code transparency when working with records – including clever uses of type inference.
- Interactive Q&A: Bring your Java questions – our speaker will be ready for an open discussion on these features and beyond.
Designed with real-world development in mind, this session offers hands-on insights and examples you can immediately apply.
Stay ahead of the curve, come along, connect with fellow developers and get inspired by the future of Java.
