Java 8 is the largest update to Java in its history. Some of the best ideas from functional programming are migrating their way into Java 8. This intense one day workshop is a hands-on lab session comprising slides, quizzes, live coding and unit test exercises which covers important Java 8 topics.

Why take this tutorial?
Java 8 encourages a different style of programming that: - lets you cope for requirement changes (less engineering efforts!) - lets you take advantages of multi-core architecture easily (faster code!) - lets you process large collections with SQL-like operations (do more in less time!) - lets you write more concise code (better readability & maintainability!)

At the end of the workshop you will be able to use the most important Java 8 features to write easier to read, more flexible code that scales to multicore.

• What is a lambda?
• Method references
