Migrating to Java 17 is a two day hands on course that willprovide you with the updated skills you need to develop maintainable code that easily scales into multi-core environments. Geared for developers currently working in Java 8 or Java 11 who need to migrate their skills or applications to Java 17, this course will teach students everything they need to successfully master and implement the latest features and benefits of Java 17 and become an effective Java 17 developer.
There have been a lot of changes in the Java programming language since the release of Java 8 in March of 2014. This courses explores the changes that will be most noticable for Java developers who will make the transition from Java 8 to Java 17. It not only covers the changes to the programming language like the new var keyword, records and sealed classes, it will also cover the Java modular system, introduced in Java 9 and the tooling that has been developed since then to allow the creation of self-contained Java applications.
