JDK 14 is live! Download it from the Java SE Downloads page. See the JDK 14 Release Notes for detailed information about this release. The following are some of the important additions and updates in Java SE 14 and JDK 14: Switch Expressions is now a permanent feature. See JEP 361: Switch Expressions (Standard). G1 is enhanced to improve allocation performance on non-uniform memory access (NUMA) memory systems. See JEP 345: NUMA-Aware Memory Allocation for G1. The Flight Recorder event steaming API enables you to continuously consume Flight Recorder data. See JEP 349: JFR Event Streaming and Monitor Events with Flight Recorder Event Streaming API. New JDK-specific file mapping modes have been added so that the FileChannel API can be used to create MappedByteBuffer instances that refer to non-volatile (NVM) memory. See JEP 352: Non-Volatile Mapped Byte Buffers. You can format currencies with locale-specific accounting formats, for example, ($3.27) instead of -$3.27. See Accounting Currency Format Support. The class com.sun.management.OperatingSystemMXBean has been enhanced to ensure that it reports values based on the current operating environment, such as a container environment. See OperatingSystemMXBean should be made container aware. The following are experimental, preview, or incubator JDK 14 features: Records, a preview feature, introduces a new kind of type declaration that's ideal for "plain data carriers," classes that contain data not meant to be altered and only the most fundamental methods such as constructors and accessors. See JEP 359: Records (Preview). Pattern Matching for instanceof Operator, a preview feature, extends the instanceof operator: you can specify a binding variable; if the result of the instanceof operator is true, then the object being tested is assigned to the binding variable. See JEP 305: Pattern Matching for instanceof (Preview). Text blocks accept two more escape sequences; see JEP 368: Text Blocks (Second Preview) and Programmer's Guide to Text Blocks. The jpackage Command is a tool for packaging self-contained Java applications. See JEP 343: Packaging Tool (Incubator). The module jdk.incubator.foreign contains an API that allows Java programs to efficiently access foreign memory outside of the Java heap. See JEP 370: Foreign-Memory Access API (Incubator). The Z Garbage Collector (ZGC), previously available only for Linux, is introduced as an experimental feature on Windows and macOS. See JEP 364: ZGC on macOS and JEP 365: ZGC on Windows. See Significant Changes in JDK 14 Release for additional information.

On Wednesday, 21st September, Michał Płachta, Team Leader, Ocado Technology presents "Building a Multiplayer Game with Streams". In this session, you will learn how stream-based programming can be used to implement a web front end and a multiplayer back end for the classic game 'Snake'. When we build dynamic applications with an imperative approach, it tends to create a lot of code, and maintaining this code poses a bigger challenge. Stream-based programming tries to solve this problem by introducing a fully declarative way of defining application logic. While using streams, you can just focus on what needs to be done, and not how and when.

On Wednesday, 21st September, John McClean, System Architect, AOL presents "Supercharge Your (Reactive) Streams". This session explores how to use different extended stream types to develop great parallel applications. Prior to Java 8, managing mutable state with low-level Java concurrency primitives was a major source of complexity. With Java 8, Developers are more familiar with declarative streaming, which is also an answer to building highly concurrent applications in a multi-core world. In these data flows, immutable messages are passed from stage to stage and even across threads. Cyclops-react is a platform for building reactive applications by extending JDK streams. This session explores how to use different extended stream types to develop great parallel applications.

Java SE 8 (JDK 8) introduced a fundamentally new way of programming in Java with the introduction of Lambda expressions.Have you ever wondered what Lambda expressions are in Java? Have you ever wanted to write parallel code in Java without worrying about threads and locking? Have you ever wanted to process collections of data without using loops? Have you ever wanted to do functional programming in Java?Answers to these questions can be found in Oracle’s Java Lambda MOOC. If you missed the chance to enroll as one of the original 10,000 students from 138 countries, the course materials are now publically available so that you too can join the fun! This 3-week course includes video-lectures with Java expert and champion Simon Ritter (@speakjava), and practical hands-on coding exercises which focus on two major changes to the Java platform: Lambda expressions and the Stream API.Lambda provides a simple way to pass functionality as an argument to another method, such as what action should be taken when someone clicks a button, or how to sort a set of names. Lambda expressions enable you to do this, to treat functionality as a method argument, or code as data.You may have heard about Lambda expressions, and are curious what impact it will have on you as a Java developer. This course is designed to answer your questions and more.--Nick Ristuccia
