The "Understanding Java threads" series concludes by uncovering some of the loose ends of threading: thread groups, volatility, thread-local variables, timers, and thread death.

Learn about the new Java 10 "var" type, and experiment using JShell with this hands-on tutorial on how to reduce boilerplate code using new type inference for local variables.

JEP 429, Extent-Local Variables (Incubator), was promoted from its JEP Draft 8263012 to Candidate status. This incubating JEP, under the umbrella of Project Loom, proposes enabling the sharing of ...

For example in Java, classes, interfaces and enums should all be written in Pascal case. Local variables declared within the body of a Java program should be written in lower camel case.
