Course Description |
||
Java 8 introduces a number of revolutionary capabilities - many of them centered on lambda expressions and functional-style programming. These capabilities add powerful new programming techniques to the language, but also add complexity.
This concise course is focused on introducing the new capabilities and how to use them. It includes numerous code examples and programming labs that illustrate all of the new capabilities.
The course is hands on, and requires that students be comfortable with writing general Java code at an intermediate level, including the use of interfaces.
Course Objectives:
- Be familiar with the additions to Java interfaces
- Understand and use functional interfaces
- Understand lambda expressions and method references, and use them to pass behavior (methods)
- Learn about the pre-defined functional interfaces, and use them with lambda expressions
- Understand and use the Stream API
- Process collections using streams, including chaining operations and using collectors
- Understand and use parallel streams
- Understand and deal with the issues of parallel processing
- Learn and use the new Data/Time API
- Be familiar with other new capabilities

Complimentary Skills to have along with Java Programming
- If you are an experienced Java developer, learning a complimentary language to Java should come much more naturally. As an example JetBrains recently created the Kotlin programming language which is officially supported by Google for mobile development. Kotlin compiles to Java bytecode and runs on the JVM; it's purported to address many of Java's shortcomings... |
