What you'll learn
This course shows Java-6 developers the new language features in Java 7
and Java 8 -- and more importantly illustrates best programming
practices as they've been affected by these new features. This is an
accelerated course that assumes long experience with earlier versions of
Java. Students will leave familiar with various new bits of syntax, and
also with an understanding of the exciting new options they have for API
design and general-purpose Java 8 coding. For those developers who need
to cover more ground, this version of the course can be combined with an
earlier version that introduces new features in Java 5 and Java 6: see
Course Migrating to Java 6 Version 6.0.
