Changes in Java 5.0

The Java 5.0 (Tiger) release introduced a host of new language features aimed at making the creation and maintenance of Java applications easier, safer, and faster. These new language features include static imports, auto-boxing, enhanced for loops, enumerations, generics, and annotations. Using Java 5.0, your Java applications can become more type-safe, easier to read, and less cumbersome to write. However, substantial changes to the language can make the inevitable migration of existing code more challenging than many previous version changes.

This instructor-led e-Learning course will provide you with a quick and code-heavy view of the changes in the 5.0 version of Java, and shine some light on the pitfalls and difficulties of applying it.
