Functional Programming in Java: Harnessing the Power of Java 8 Lambda Expressions
Lambda expressions are lightweight, highly concise anonymous methods backed by functional interfaces in Java 8. You can use them to leap forward into a whole new world of programming in Java. With functional programming capabilities, which have been around for decades in other languages, you can now write elegant, concise, less error-prone code using standard Java. This bo

I come from a background of 10 years of professional Java software development; with the introduction of Lambda functions, I figured now is the time to finally learn something about Functional Programming. I picked this book up because I liked Venkat's Scala videos and his IntelliJ Java 8 introduction video. Overall this book was good, it does a great job of teaching you the syntax for Lambda expressions and the new collections stream api, but after this book I don't feel that I really understan

While the first few chapters' overly theatrical, simplistic and repetetive style really got on my nerves, later on the book starts providing both meaningful examples and practical advice, making it a good read after all (as was to be expected of Pragmatic Bookshelf ;)). All in all, a very nice introduction to functional programming with Java 8.
Most important thing about this book is that it shows you how FP will improve design of your code and not only new features of Java 8.
Skimmed through this book to get an overview of functional programming in Java 8. Very concise and clear.
Good and short introduction to new features in Java 8 and designing with lambda expressions.
Best thing about the book is that whenever you feel you don't understand a segment, you can start reading in Venkat's enthusiastic accent.
Nice introduction to functional oriented Java 8 features.
Neat look into some of the FP stuff in 1.8.
