Java SE 8 (JDK 8) introduced
a fundamentally new way of programming in Java with the introduction of
Lambda expressions.
Lambda provides a simple way to pass
functionality as an argument to another method, such as what action
should be taken when someone clicks a button, or how to sort a set of
names. Lambda expressions enable you to do this, to treat functionality
as a method argument, or code as data.
You may have heard about Lambda
expressions, and are curious what impact it will have on you as a Java
developer.
This course is designed to answer
your questions and more.
Have you ever wondered what Lambda
expressions are in Java?
Have you ever wanted to write parallel code in Java without worrying
about threads and locking?
Have you ever wanted to process collections of data without using loops?
Have you ever wanted to do functional programming in Java?
All of these questions will be
answered in this practical hands-on MOOC. This course introduces two
major new changes to the Java platform: Lambda expressions and the Stream
API.
