I’m Sven Woltmann, a Java expert, trainer, speaker, and author with 30 years of Java experience – and an Oracle ACE Associate. With my company HappyCoders GmbH, I help Java teams modernize their applications and get the most out of modern Java.

I write in-depth articles on the latest Java versions and features, speak at conferences such as JavaLand, betterCode() Java, and Java Forum Stuttgart, and run hands-on Java trainings that help teams actually use the new features in production.

My blog HappyCoders.eu is one of the most widely read Java blogs in the German-speaking world. You’ll also find my videos on YouTube, the slides of my talks on Speaker Deck, and every new article in my newsletter.

Java has evolved massively since Java 8 – but is your team already using the new features? I run hands-on trainings on modern Java: Java 17, 21 & 25 (individually or as combined courses), Java Streams, and virtual threads & structured concurrency.

• The latest language features – records, sealed classes, pattern matching, virtual threads, and when each one actually helps.
• Hands-on from the first session – your developers write and run code themselves, not just watch slides.
• Focused on your stack – we cover the Java versions and topics your projects really use.

What participants say:

“A deep, thorough overview of all the relevant Java features since Java 8 – and the chance to try out every one of them yourself.”

“A complex topic broken down brilliantly (virtual threads).”

“If you know Java, you can follow this trainer with ease. The exercises are well thought out and focused on the essentials.”

“Pace and depth: top. The mix of theory and practice was very pleasant.”

“Content and presentation almost flawless. What impressed me was how confidently you answered questions along the way.”
