Marc Hoffmann
Even though it is 25 years old, Java is still a modern and one of the most used programming languages. For this, the language, the APIs, and the runtime have been dramatically improved over the years. As a Java developer since the early 1.0 days, the presenter has collected extensive information over the years and has finally put it together on the Java Version Almanac website: https://javaalmanac.io. In this session, we take a look behind the scenes of the Java Version Almanac and touch on some trivia about the history and future of Java.
