Preparing for the Java cert and learning new features (part 1 - Java 9 to 11)

Track: Core Java
Abstract

Looking to learn about features in the language added after Java 8 in more detail? As programmers we are used to dealing with edge cases. But what about edge cases in the language? As certification book authors, we encounter lots of interesting and/or surprising behavior. After a brief overview of the cert, we will explain these features and walk through lots of tricky questions. Come to this session and walk away with an increased awareness in these Java topics.
