Course Description

Do you want to learn the fundamentals of the Java 8 programming platform? Would you like to be able to understand how to make use of the latest Java 8 functional programming features? Maybe you're on a new project which is based on Java 8 and you'd like a gentle introduction to how the Java 8 platform hangs together?

Then this course is for you!

I take you from knowing nothing about Java 8, assuming just an intermediate level knowledge of Java, and take you through each concept in the Java 8 platform, step by step, from first principles.

In this course you'll be introduced to and come to understand:

  • What's new in Java 8 (and why you should take notice!)

  • Lambda Expressions (what they are and how to use them)

  • Functional Interfaces (why they're important and what role they play)

  • Function Descriptors (a handy tool for understanding lambdas and functional interfaces)

  • Method References (the different types and how to use and apply them)

  • Default Methods (what they are, why they were introduced and where to use them)

  • Pipelines and Streams (understanding through example)

  • Optionals and the Optionals API (what they're for and how to use them)

This course is a concise, no-nonsense guide to Java 8 which explains just enough detail so that you can absorb and understand the core concepts and get you up and running, quickly and effectively with coding in Java 8.

I can't wait to teach you all about the exciting features of Java 8 inside! ;)

Java 8 Topics is well structured. While I find it too theoretical at times, it provides a good starting point.

By Abdiel (Tsewang) Garrido on 11/30/2021

I'm half way, and so far has been very enjoyable. Covers tricky topics in a friendly way.

By Ken Bennett on 3/12/2021

The examples given were well explained but there weren't enough of them. Usage of Java 8 concepts in a real world example would have been very useful.

By Sowjanya Puvvada on 1/5/2021

Good introduction to java 8 .. easy to understand ! Matt gives a good insight to the what's and why's of each new language feature , following by good coding examples.. You would be no longer an alien to java 8!

By Varun Nambiar on 11/19/2020

Covers a good amount of topics in short time. Good course to get initiated with Java 8 features.

By Weston Beck on 10/26/2020

This course does assume a lot of prior knowledge. A lot of information is being presented very quickly, but I am keeping up for the most part only because I have coincidentally used some of the things being mentioned.

By Niket Yende on 8/26/2020

Course is excellent for understanding the new fundamental concepts introduced in Java 8.

By vasudha sharma on 5/14/2020

Instructor is very Knowledgeable, he knows the things in and out, he knows the why and also has a knack for teaching. He can clearly express himself and bring home the abstruse concepts. If he is listening, then he should take this as encouragement and bring in more courses covering all of Java or whatever he likes, because we like him. Please provide more examples and show more code while explaining things, otherwise this course is excellent. Overall its good, the instructor should provide more courses covering all aspects of Java development, I for sure would learn from them.

By Darryl Havlicek on 5/12/2020

This was an excellent choice for me because I needed to get a better understanding of the topic and the person doing the training is very knowledgeable and an excellent communicator.

By Jigginzay on 10/21/2019
