About this listen

Every new version of Java is important, but Java 8 was a game changer. Java 8 in Action is a clearly written guide to the new features of Java 8. It begins with a practical introduction to lambdas, using real-world Java code. Next, it covers the new Streams API and shows how you can use it to make collection-based code radically easier to understand and maintain. It also explains other major Java 8 features including default methods, Optional, CompletableFuture, and the new Date and Time API. With Java 8's functional features you can write more concise code in less time and also automatically benefit from multicore architectures. It's time to dig in!

This book is written for programmers familiar with Java and basic OO programming.

What's inside:

  • How to use Java 8's powerful new features
  • Writing effective multicore-ready applications
  • Refactoring, testing, and debugging
  • Adopting functional-style programming

Raoul-Gabriel Urma is a software engineer, speaker, trainer, and PhD candidate at the University of Cambridge. Mario Fusco is an engineer at Red Hat and creator of the lambdaj library. Alan Mycroft is a professor at Cambridge and co-founder of the Raspberry Pi Foundation.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Buy the hard copy, not the audiobook

As with all programming books, when read aloud it can be a real challenge to follow along.

Audible without code sucks

The book does a lot of references to the following code. Where is the following code? I have to imagine? The pdf was never available either.

Only for advanced users

I searched for beginners. This is by no means for beginners. I don’t recommend this book
