Presentations

Designing with Lambda Expressions

Java 8 brings support for lambda expressions and functional style of programming. With that, the design concepts and the patterns we're used to in Java enjoy a makeover.

Programming with Lambda Expressions

Now that Java is supporting lambda expressions, it's time to hone our skills to make use of them. Lambda expressions can help create concise code, however, it takes more than learning the syntax to put them to good use.

Concurrency without Pain in Pure Java

Programming with Neo4J

A nice alternative to relational databases, graph databases are being used in a number of applications from social networking to data analysis. Neo4J is a powerful, high performance industrial strength database that is highly scalable. It provides nice integration with Java.
