Oracle and the Community Celebrate 20 Years of Java - Seite 3

Ushering in the Next Era of Java

Oracle and the Java community are now focused on delivering new innovations in Java 9. The key planned feature of this release is Project Jigsaw, which aims to modularize the platform in order to make it scalable to a wider range of devices, make it easier for developers to construct and maintain libraries and large applications, and improve security, maintainability, and performance. Other features slated for Java 9 include the Java Shell, an interactive tool for evaluating snippets of Java code; a new HTTP client API to support HTTP/2 and Web Sockets; a port to the ARM AArch64 architecture on Linux; and a variety of updates to existing APIs along with some significant performance improvements.

"Java directly or indirectly touches just about every human on this planet. It is the glue that allows mobile health and banking in remote areas of the world, entertains millions with games such as Minecraft, and drives the economic engine of our global markets," said Martijn Verburg, co-leader of Java User Group, London. "It is extremely important that this platform be managed by a leader who understands Java's importance to the world, and Oracle does an excellent job in collaborating with a hugely diverse community of users, developers, open source projects and larger enterprises. I look forward to seeing what the next generation of engineers will come up with next. Using Java, the possibilities seem endless."

To commemorate 20 years of Java, Oracle Certification is offering 20 percent discount on all Java certification exams. The offer available globally is now open through December 31, 2015. Candidates must provide promotional code Java20 at the time of registration. For details, visit here.
