Java After Eight
Nicolai Parlog at All The Talks 2020 - Java
Many projects are still on Java 8 and yet, Java 14 is already out! The
small releases after 9 created the illusion of nothing much happening,
but nothing could be further from the truth - a lot changed since then
that shapes the look of everyday Java code:
* new language features like records, switch expressions, `var`, and
text blocks
* new APIs like stack walking and the reactive HTTP/2 client
* additions to existing APIs, like `Stream` and `Optional`
In this talk, we'll take a simple Java 8 code base, update it to 14, and
refactor it to use the new language features and APIs. You'll be
surprised how much the code changes!

Nicolai is a thirty year old boy, as the narrator would put it (if he squints), who has found his passion in software development. He constantly reads, thinks, and writes about it, and codes for a living as well as for fun.
Nicolai is a freelancing developer, author, and trainer. He writes The Java Module System[1] with Manning, blogs about software development on codefx.org[2], recently started a YouTube channel[3], and is a long-tail contributor to several open source projects. You can hire him[4] for all kinds of things.
