While the release of Java 8 is still a few month away, GA is scheduled is in early next year, Java community has already shared some really good tutorial to learn, probably the next big thing in Java world, lambda expressions. While the term "lambda expression" may sound abstract and academic, Java 8 Lambdas can have a big impact on how you program every day. Java 8 is coming up with Lambda expressions, Stream API, Functional interfaces and default methods, which is eagerly waited through out the world. Not surprisingly, I am also started learning Java 8 new features and I am grateful to all these peoples, who has shared wonderful tutorials on lambdas. These are the peoples who have downloaded nightly builds, work through specification and initial draft and created easy to understand Java 8 tutorials and examples. Since I am personally following them, it make a lot of sense for me to share all these resources with me. As a professional Java developer, you will have to learn Java 8 sooner than letter. It's definitely going to have a huge impact on how you use Java Collection framework in your program, especially on high performance applications. Earlier, when I shared some differences between Java and Scala, I had mentioned some cool features of Scala which makes code concise, clear and more readable, Java 8 is bringing parity on that as well. So stay tuned and follow these Java 8 Lambda, Stream API and functional interfaces tutorial to get a feel of, what is going to be biggest change in Java programming language since it's first launch, probably even bigger than Generics from Java 1.5.
