What new features does Java 20 bring? And why should we use it? And what can we expect from the next LTS version, 21, in September?

The aim of the article is to introduce my newly published book “Practical Design Pattern for Java Developers”.

It’s September 20th, OpenJDK 19 has been released. In this podcast, we discuss the new features and the changes that this release brings.

Although the Java 19 release is coming in September (2022-09-20), we already know what will happen in that release!

Let’s look at how frameworks work under the hood, namely Quarkus and Spring Boot, and how many threads they initiate to serve up results.

Virtual threads not only help to increase application throughput by running a much bigger number of concurrent tasks together, they also provide a framework to refactor already existing code.

When simple web content or responses are required, Java 18 reduces the need to search for more complicated solutions like Jetty and Netty.

Let’s examine a program selection control mechanism, for a value, expression or variable type to influence program flow execution, for Switch.

Learn about observability configurations and libraries required over a range of frameworks using two JVM languages, namely Java and Kotlin. 

Yes, Java 18 is here and in this article we explore the most important changes and, in my humble opinion, this release is an important one!
