The Art of Java Language Pattern Matching

Conference Room A
The goal of project Amber within OpenJDK is to explore the inclusion of smaller, productivity-oriented Java language features. One part of this that has delivered new functionality in recent versions is pattern matching. Pattern matching combines application code logic to test if an expression has a specific type or structure and extract components of its state for processing. Pattern matching is now well embedded in the Java language using the following features, defined by JDK Enhancement Proposals (JEPs) Pattern matching for instanceof (JEP 305, 375, 394, 433) Pattern matching for switch (JEP 406, 420, 427) Record patterns (JEP 405,432) In this session, we’ll look at the details of these two new language features and a more general look at pattern matching. We’ll also explore future features in this area such as array patterns, which may be included in a subsequent Java release. By the end of the session, you’ll be ready to use these powerful new features.

How to Be a Responsible Open Source Citizen

Conference Room A
Have you ever worked on a project that didn't use any open source tools, libraries, or products? Using open source has been such an integral part of our daily work life that we don't even think about it. We just expect it to be available, secure, stable, and bug-free. But how many of you are actually contributing back to an open source project? In this session, I will go through some aspects of being a responsible open source citizen. There may even be a couple of pointers on how to make a career in open source.

Modern Java and Data-Oriented Programming

Conference Room A
Changing application practices and paradigms have modified what is viewed as data in your applications – some move beyond the borders of your applications and the rest moves across its components. Modern Java features such as records, sealed classes, pattern matching, and others make it easier to develop data-focused functionality. Using practical examples for busy developers, this talk will cover the combined power of these modern Java features to write declarative and data-focused code to create powerful, and composable data navigation and processing. In this live-coded talk, attendees will learn about issues within their existing code, create concise and clear data-focused queries, and modify existing code bases to avail benefits of Data-Oriented Programming in Java.
