The 3-day course uses many practical examples and exercises to familiarize participants with the new features of Java versions 9 to 17.

With JShell there is now a tool that is ideal for trying out new classes or functionalities in the REPL style.

As of version 10, you can omit the reference type for local variables. The compiler then determines this itself thanks to type inference.

In the 11 release, the functionality of the new HTTP Client API has been significantly expanded. It now supports HTTP/2, WebSockets, server pushes, asynchronous calls and reactive streams. Many new methods can also be found in the String class. Oracle's support and license policy has changed massively since Java 11.

Number 12 introduced a new syntax for switch statements. Furthermore, developers can now implement their own microbenchmarks.

With Java SE 13, text blocks for multi-line character strings were added. The Z Garbage Collector (ZGC), which can efficiently manage even huge heaps, has been provided in an improved form.

The pattern matching in connection with the instance operator offers a simpler way to implement case differentiation based on the object type.

Version 15 introduced Sealed Classes and Interfaces, giving the programmer the ability to limit inheritance of that class.

The pattern matching in connection with the instance operator offers a simpler way to implement case differentiation based on the object type.

In Java 16, records and sealed classes have been expanded and adjusted again.

Finally, Java 17 is the new LTS (Long Term Support) release that succeeds Java 11. All features developed from Java 12 Java 16 are production-ready in Java 17. For Java 17, Oracle offers a Java Developer certification exam.
