Foojay Podcast #83: OpenJDK Evolutions plus Tips and Tricks
Two of Europe’s biggest Java conferences in one autumn brought together developers with very different stories about the platform. We grabbed a few of them between sessions at Devoxx Belgium and JFall in the Netherlands to talk shop. In this episode we host Johan Vos, Stephen Chin, Joseph Phillips, François Martin, Wouter De Geus, and Roald Nefs for Foojay Podcast #83.
