Java 8 Lambdas: Functional Programming For The Masses

by Richard Warburton

If you’re a developer with core Java SE skills, this hands-on book takes you through the language changes in Java 8 triggered by the addition of lambda expressions. You’ll learn through code examples, exercises, and fluid explanations how these anonymous functions will help you write simple, clean, library-level code that solves business problems. Lambda expressions are a fairly simple change to Java, and the first part of the book shows you how to use them properly. Later chapters show you how lambda functions help you improve performance with parallelism, write simpler concurrent code, and model your domain more accurately, including building better DSLs.

Solidnie, konkretnie, kompleksowo i na temat. A, no i zrozumiale, więc nie ma się za bardzo do czego doczepić.
