Slide 4 text

https://linktr.ee/jeanneboyarsky Strategy 4 Option 1 - wait for Java 21 study materials Option 2: 1. Study from a Java 17 study guide 2. Read about Java 18-21 features 3. Focus on edge cases 4. Do any practice questions you can find This talk helps with option 2. Or if you just want to learn
