Interested in trying out the new lambda feature in Java 8? If so, this “higher-order lab” is for you. Participants will use a recent JDK 8 development build and a recent NetBeans build that support the lambda feature and will take part in exercises intended to teach them about the new lambda feature of the Java programming language and the new Streams Library API. The exercises start off very simply, so that beginners can learn the fundamentals. Additional exercises covering grouping and parallel reduction aim to challenge more-advanced participants. Participants need not have any prior knowledge of Java’s lambda feature.

We will have the live stream up for 3 hours to support the lab with an intro presentation from Brian Goetz and lab content designed by Stuart Marks.
