The new language features include lambda expressions and method references as well as default and static interface methods.  In this seminar attendants will enjoy in-depth coverage of the lambdas and streams, will practice their use in hand-on labs, and will gain an overview of the module system and further recent language extensions. 

Mastering lambdas is the prerequisite for successfully using streams.  Streams are an extension to the JDK collection framework.  They provide a functional API for sequential and parallel bulk operations on sequences of elements. The seminar provides an overview of the stream API from basics such as filter-map-reduce to advanced operations such as user-defined stream sources.  Attendants will practice the use of streams in numerous labs. 

The seminar gives an overview of the Date/Time API, which replaces old classes such a Date and Calendar. 

The most prominent addition to Java 9 is the module system.  It provides an encapsulation mechanism on top of packages.  Beginning with Java 9 the community is encouraged to modularize all application, libraries and frameworks.  The seminar discusses migration strategies, explains module descriptors, the difference between named, unnamed and automatic modules, issues with deep reflection, and new tools such as jdeps and jlink.

Minor extensions were added in the JDK releases since release 10 namely type inference for local variables, switch expressions, pattern matching for switch, text blocks, extensions of the instanceof operator, and new types such as records and sealed types.
