What you'll learn

Java 14 is the first release of Java in 2020. In this course, What's New in Java 14, you'll get an overview of all the important features in Java 14. First, you will learn about API changes and a small but very useful feature: Helpful NullPointerExceptions. Next, you will discover a new Java language feature called Switch Expressions. Java 14 also contains a lot of exciting preview language features, such as Pattern Matching, Text Blocks, and Records. After you've seen the highlights of these features, you will also learn about improvements made to the JVM, for example around Garbage Collection. When you're finished with this course, you will be ready to make the most of Java 14 in your own projects.
