Understanding Functional Programming in Java
Java 8 has been around for a few years and by now we all have immersed into the Streams API and the lambda expressions. But, what does it mean to program in functional style? How can we leverage the functional APIs to solve problems. How do we think in functional style when we have so much experience with imperative style. And flat…what and do they really mean we should honor immutability?
This presentation will answer those questions using practical examples so you can leverage the power of functional Java in your own applications.
