With Java 11 being released in just over a week, I have decided to push out a significant update to Java for the Real World. For a limited time, you can get the book for only $11.11 in celebration of JDK 11! The major updates include:

  • Updated syntax for all code examples to take advantage of the improvements in recent JDK releases.
  • A new project and section about Vaadin Flow
  • Updated dependency versions
  • Additional discussion about the various JDKs available
  • New guidance about running Java applications in Docker containers

OpenJDK 11 will be a long term support version, so it is definitely worth taking a look at the new features and upgrading when possible.
