Title: Lambdas and Streams in Java 8
Proposer: Angelika Langer
Proposer: 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
