These new changes make their debut in Java 8, and their highlight is the long-awaited support for lambda expressions in the Java language. You’ll learn to write lambda expressions and use them to create functional interfaces and default methods for evolving APIs, among many other uses. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe changes in Java 8 are significant. Syntax and usage of the language are changed considerably with the introduction of closures and lambda expressions. This book takes you through these important changes from introduction to mastery. Through a set of clear examples, you’ll learn to refactor existing code to take advantage of the new language features. You’ll learn what those features can do for you, and when they are best applied. You’ll learn to design and write new code having these important new features in mind from the verybeginning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClearly explains the fantastic benefits resulting from Project Lambda \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplains the syntax and IDE support for the new features \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShows how to streamline your code by bringing some of the benefits of functional programming to the Java language \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIllustrates parallelism in closures through Stream and Spliterator objects \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplains API evolution by adding methods to existing interfaces without breaking existing interface implementations, a technique addressing potential multiple inheritance issues \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Apress\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2015-03-03\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781430259985\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4302-5999-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 254cm x178cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 220\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Apress","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47407047278732,"sku":"9781430259985","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781430259985.jpg?v=1775827395","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781430259985","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
