Advanced Features of Java 21

In this advanced Java 21 course, dive into the cutting-edge features introduced in the latest Java release. Gain a comprehensive understanding of the Java release cycle and stay up to date with the language's evolution. Key encapsulation mechanisms, a cornerstone of security in object-oriented programming, are explored in-depth, including hands-on experience with the Key Encapsulation Mechanism API. The Foreign Function and Memory API, enabling seamless integration with native code, is covered through practical examples and coding challenges. Instructor Bethan Palmer also explains Scoped Values, a powerful construct for managing multi-threaded applications, and the Vector API, facilitating efficient processing of intensive computations. Additionally, Bethan covers dynamic loading of agents and revisits key encapsulation mechanisms, solidifying your grasp of these critical concepts through real-world use cases and problem-solving exercises.

Learning objectives
Analyze the Java release cycle and key encapsulation mechanisms to critique and propose improvements to existing Java code.
Apply the Key Encapsulation Mechanism API, Foreign Function and Memory API, and scoped values concept to develop efficient and secure Java applications that leverage the latest language features.
Evaluate the benefits and trade-offs of using the Vector API and dynamic loading of agents in Java programs and synthesize solutions to optimize performance and maintainability.
