This Java 8 New Features training course covers the major changes in the Java 8 platform, one of the most significant updates to Java in some time. After Oracle bought out Sun, Java 6 was around for quite a while. Oracle decided to release the "easy stuff" in Java 7 while working on some of the more significant changes for Java 8.
Besides a long sought-after API for working better with Date and Time, one of the most significant changes in Java 8 are 'Lambda Expressions'. These allow you to treat a function implementation like an object and have far-reaching impacts on what you can do with Java. New approaches to filtering, sorting and performing calculations with Collections are now possible with Lambda Expressions. You can also use Lambda Expressions in many places where previously you needed an extraneous anonymous class so this will simply code.
This training covers all of these important changes in the Java 8 platform along with some of the more significant changes from Java 7. Any experienced Java programmer who wishes to quickly get up to speed on the recent changes in Java 8 will find this course extremely valuable.
