Recording of Coffee Club, Episode 3
Episode 3 of Coffee Club with Dalia Abo Sheasha, Trisha Gee, and Johan Janssen is available on our IntelliJ IDEA YouTube channel!
We met on October 13 to talk about the different aspects of migrating to Java 17. How to convince management? When is it worth migrating? How to make the whole process easier and less stressful? Why is having up-to-date dependencies so important? And last but not least, should we care about the vendor’s support plan – sts vs. its releases?
Our audience actively supported the discussion by sharing their comments and questions about upgrading their Java projects. Among the attendees, we met those who are interested in migration, mostly from versions 6, 8, and 11, and those who have already adopted Java 17.
If you are thinking about migrating but have doubts or just don’t know where to start, consider using these additional resources from our speakers:
- Trisha: Beyond Java 8;
- Johan: Java Upgrades and Upgrade to Java 16 or 17;
- Dalia: Migrating Beyond Java 8.
We’re looking forward to meeting you at the next Coffee Club! If you have an idea for the next episode’s topic, feel free to reach out to Dalia on Twitter.
