**Title**: Lambdas and Streams in Java 8\\
**Proposer**: [[2014:Angelika Langer]]\\
**Proposer**: [[2014:Klaus Kreft]]\\
**Type**: Preconference workshop\\
**Duration**: 360 mins\\
**Description**: \\
In this workshop we explore new language features in Java 8 (i.e., lambda expressions, method / constructor references, static and default interface methods) and the overhauled collection framework in JDK 8 (i.e., streams, collectors and functional interfaces). Attendants are encouraged to bring their notebooks. We will not only explore the novelties in theory, but intend to provide enough information to allow for hands-on experiments with lambdas, streams and consorts.\\
\\
Audience: Java developers interested in the language extensions and collecton enhancements in Java 8.\\
\\
Level: intermediate\\
\\
Prerequisite: working knowledge of Java\\
