Presentations
Java 8 Lambdas, the Path way to Functional Style
Functional programming has gained the recognition it deserves and almost all mainstream languages now support functional style of programming. With the introduction of lambdas in Java 8, we have new tools on our hands. In this presentation, we explore this tool and how we can benefit from it.
Programming with Streams in Java 8
We all have heard about lambda expressions in Java 8. The real unsung hero of Java 8 are the Streams.
Transforming to Java 8
The new facilities in Java 8 is about the change the way we write code. Our code will become
more expressive and concise. But, exactly how?
Functional Programming in Java—Technical Reasons to Adapt
Functional programming is receiving much attention recently. Most mainstream languages, including C++, Java, and C# now support lambda expressions and functional style. Why is there a sudden interest in adapting something that was largely ignored for decades? What are the technical reasons, how do we benefit, in what ways can using these techniques make our applications better and our development efforts easier as well?
