Functional Programming with Java 8

With the release of Java 8, the biggest change is going to be in the programmers mind. In addition to the new syntax for lambda expressions and method references, a significant paradigm shift awaits us.

In this presentation, Venkat Subramaniam discusses how Java 8 now facilitates a functional style of programming and why we should care about it. Using multiple examples, during this live coding session, we will explore the strengths and benefits of the new Java 8 language features.

I can't help listening to Venkat again and again - one of my very best Java-conference-speakers!

Caught Venkat at a conference a while back. Lively pace and lots of enthusiasm, but what bowled me over was his ability to field any question and nail it. IT was like the man wrote Java 8 and invented functional programming. By the end of Q&A, I was ready to yell "Freebird!" and hold up a lighter.

Venkat is awesome. I'm lucky enough to have had him as a professor and take 4 of his classes.

Never anyone explained the concept so passionately. I was really interesting to learn.

Venkat is awesome, he's great explaining things.

[alexotoous]

this makes those of us coming from JavaScript-ES6 love Java even more

Everyone complaining about Break statement in for loop... We get it.... Just try to see the bigger picture painted by venkat instead of nitpicking an illustrative example... I think we will gain a lot more that way.

Venkat is awesome.
Minor correction: 9:30
noneMatch() takes an IntPredicate when invoked on an IntStream. The predicate is 'isDivisible' (change it from Predicate<Integer> to IntPredicate). Therefore, it should be:
.noneMatch(isDivisible);

As always, it's a pleasure hearing a talk of functional programming from Dr. Venkat Subramanian

Excellent presenter and great video on some of the new features of java 8 and how it can be used for functional programming.

[FlashManinSpace]

Wow I never knew Java could do functional style programming. Thank you!

[sathishkumarr]

He is a java genius 🤩 It will be great if i met him once in a lifetime 🙂

[cutechinmoy]

Wow. This is functional programming for me! Great teacher Venkat... any other good videos to watch of Venkat Sir? I am a fan of his teaching now? Anyone else

[asdfasdfasdf]

What an amazing video. Venkat's enthusiasm is contagious :)

[nikhilagrawal]

Awesome video lecture. I got insights in FP style. it's better than many safari video lectures. Thanks alot.

[IvanAveryanov]

It is very clear explanation of lamda! Thank you, Venkat!

[walterdiaz]

This is good stuff!. After playing with Scala, I find the need of using FP in Java.

[jindal]

Really good explanation of functional programming. Thanks a lot.

[codinginflow]

Amazing presentation skills. It's really fun listening

I am impressed, you nailed it off subramaniam garu. Super.
