LJC Hackday - July 2015

I attended the London Java Community's Hackday on Sat July 18th which was very enjoyable and was well worth the trip down to London from Manchester. There I downloaded and built OpenJDK9 onto an AWS VM in the cloud.

My notes of the day can be found in the following blog posts.

Should you, like I, not have enough space on your laptop to create a VM then I hope these posts will help you to learn something new and free up valuable time to play about with OpenJDK9.
