If I have a book for 8, should i buy a book for java 9 ? Is there a big difference between the two?

@louiscouture I haven't been keeping up with it very much since version 8, but Java is at version 14 now, and will be at version 15 in two weeks. (Java switched to a fast release schedule a few years ago). Java is mostly backwards-compatible, so you're only likely to have to deal with new features, like the local-variable type inference added in Java 10.

I'd say it would be fine to just learn Java 8 and then find resources explaining what's been added in all the new versions, that's how most people are experiencing this anyway.
