Java 8 Lambdas: Pragmatic Functional Programming

If you’re an experienced Java programmer, Java 8 Lambdas shows you how to make use of your existing skills to adapt your thinking and your codebase to use lambda expressions properly. Starting with basic examples, this book is focused solely on Java 8 language changes and related API changes, so you don’t need to buy and read a 900 page book in order to brush up. Lambdas make a programmer’s job easier, and this book will teach you how. Coverage includes introductory syntax for lambda expressions, method references that allow you to reuse existing named methods from your codebase, and the collection library in Java 8.
