Hi everybody, I've started a Mastodon account: @stuartmarks@mastodon.social

I'm not going to bail out of here just yet, but the trend seems to be heading downward.

🚨JavaOne is BACK!🚨

On behalf of the @Java Team at @Oracle, I'm happy to announce the RETURN OF @JavaOne!

#Java #OpenJDK #JDK #Java #JavaOne

This discussion was a MUST-listen for any new @java developers but an absolutely-at-all-costs-must-listen for old hat Java developers. @stuartmarks has forgotten more about Java than most of us will ever know and he shares little behind the scenes looks and tidbits for TWO hours nonstop!

Finalization is eventually being deprecated. Find out where you’re affected from @java 21 onward by using the

--finalization=disabled

command line switch

Join @java legend Dr. Deprecator - @stuartmarks himself! - and me for a discussion on the ever changing @java ecosystem

Thanks to @EricIdle for today's most insistent earworm

The Collections Framework offers two implementation for the List interface: ArrayList and LinkedList. How can you choose the best one for your application?

Haven't been to a lot of session at @Devoxx Belgium while being onsite, and I had to leave early, but I keep watching the Youtube playlist.

Anyhow, one session, so far, completely stands out for me, "Moving Java Forward Together" by @Sharat_Chander 🙌

I wrote a blog focusing on two new features in Java 21 - pattern matching for switch and record patterns! Also a bit of a sneak peek of the talk I'm giving alongside @aqsa_ma at #GHC 💗 emilie-robichaud.medium.com/pattern-matchi…

You probably heard about these awesome people coming at @Devoxx like @errcraft , @holly_cummins @stuartmarks , @trisha_gee, @starbuxman, @tiffanyfayj, @graemerocher, @jMargaritaN , @BrianGoetz and hundreds others devoxx.be/speakers/

Happy to say that @stuartmarks and I will be presenting a Deep Dive talk at @Devoxx Belgium: "Beneath the Planet of the Collections" (devoxx.be/talk/?id=48553). Look forward to some pure collections wisdom! (and I'll also be speaking).

I've been saving this one for a special occasion. So is becoming a Java Champion special enough? 🤔

You bet! 😁🍺

Does your company use #OpenSource? If so, do they allow you to contribute to that open source project?
