Java: Features, Improvements, and Updates

Ever since James Gosling introduced Java to the world in the mid-nineties, this programming language has held a special place in the technical world. With its simple nature, outstanding community, and extraordinary ecosystem of libraries and utilities, it’s no surprise that it remains the most popular programming language. Oracle's change to a six-month release cadence can make it difficult to keep up with the current state of Java, but we’d like to catch you up and prepare you for the future with updates on Java 9 and 10 releases, what’s new with Java EE, and an exploration into null-safety in Kotlin and Java.
