Adapting to new Java releases

- [Kevin] Every six months, Java developers can now look forward to receiving a new version of the language that delivers enhanced security, improved performance and additional features. While many developers find the new release cycle exciting, others are hesitant to upgrade beyond their current version putting their projects at risk of incurring high extended support costs. Teams that approach migrations with a well-planned strategy that includes the assistance of automated tools can confidently upgrade to the latest version. Teams that make the leap, will enjoy new Java features such as switch expressions, and text blocks for working with multi-line strings. Hi, I'm Kevin Bowersox. And throughout my career I've enjoyed using Java's versatility to create a wide range of systems ranging from batch jobs to web APIs. I'll share strategies that will eliminate common pitfalls that you might experience. Come join me in my LinkedIn Learning course to migrate Java applications to the latest versions.
