Jeanne Boyarsky: "Choosing the right Java vendor and strategy"

December 4, 2019 -- San Diego Java User's Group -- www.sdjug.org

Abstract:

When using Java, many people used to just download Oracle’s JDK and call it a day. The world is a more complicated place these days. I will give a vendor neutral overview of the different Java options and support models along with tips for choosing one. This session will also cover how to decide how often to update and strategies for dealing with the 6 month/three year options. Finally, I will highlight some of my favorite features from Java 11, 12 and 13. Don’t worry, Java 13 isn’t unlucky!

This talk was originally presented at Oracle Code One and got strong ratings. It comes with an opportunity to win chocolate.
