"In this webcast we go through a series of code examples, that show how to: use the new lambda expressions feature, write more readable and faster collections processing code using the Streams API, build complex data processing systems with the new collector abstraction, use Lambda expressions in your own code."--Resource description page.

The schism between the functional and object-oriented programmers is really a false binary. Yes, the first group argues that FP is superior for a multicore world, while the second insists that OOP is better at matching technical solutions to business problems. However, as this O'Reilly report explains, this is not an either-or proposition. Technologist Richard Warburton, author of Java 8 Lambas, discusses similarities between these programming paradigms...

"Reactive and asynchronous applications are growing in popularity, but what is the best way to build them? This course, designed for software architects and intermediate- to advanced-level Java programmers, teaches you how to apply the latest concurrency techniques to develop state of the art Java applications. With the rise of microservices and service oriented architectures (SOAs), asynchronous concurrency is now critical in day-to-day Java development....
