To the Moon and Beyond With Java 17 APIs! - Gunnar Morling
Since moving to a 6 monthly release cadence, the Java platform is evolving more dynamically than ever before. It can be quite a challenge to stay on top of all the changes and new features.
In this talk we're going to explore the most important developments in the Java API: which classes have been added, what has been removed? Join Duke, the Java mascot for a trip to space and learn which exciting new APIs provided by the Java platform can help him with his journey:
the Java Vector API for utilizing the SIMD capabilities of modern CPU architectures
the Foreign Linker API for integrating with native code
the JFR Event Streaming API for publishing JDK Flight Recorder Events
We'll also take a look at some useful changes to the Java runtime, such as CDS archives for a faster application launch.
