Upgrade to Java 16 or 17 by Johan Janssen, Software Architect @SanomaLearning
Java upgrades are sometimes seen as difficult and many applications are still running on an older version of Java. This session describes the current six months release process of Java and why applications should use a recent Java version. After that, I'll explain the challenges of upgrading and provide some useful tips to make the process easier. Concrete examples will be used to show you how to upgrade your application to Java 16 or 17.

What's New in Java 16 by Sander Mak, Director of Technology @Picnic
Like clockwork, another Java release arrived this March. In this session, we'll dive into the exciting new features of Java 16. First, we'll look at API updates that will make your life easier. Then, we'll look at two major new language features: records and pattern matching. Sealed Classes are still a preview feature in this version, but we'll take a peek at what they can offer as well. Come join me to stay up-to-date on all things Java!

What Does the Future Hold for Java?
Leaders from the Java community will delve into some of the new features in Java including Records, Local Variable Type Inference, and performance improvements. They will also discuss the various "free" builds of OpenJDK, identifying the best way to mitigate cost and risk, and look into the creation and development of Foojay.io, and what the founders’ future aspirations are for this Java community hub.
