Java 8: How to?

Hi there!

If you are already familiar with Java and if you do not have much time to spare on reading, the stuff I write about in my blog might interest you.You are more than welcome to point out any mistakes that I have made in my posts, because after all I am a newbie myself. I have started to read up on Java 8, therefore I will be posting as and when I learn something new. It could be on the new features in Java 8 or those few features in Java 7 that haven’t really received much attention. The topics I have covered so far are;

JAVA 8:

• Getting started with lambda expressions
• An insight into functional interfaces
• Exception handling in functional interfaces
• Method references
• Variable scope
• Default methods
• Static methods
• Stream API
• Streams in a Nutshell
• Concurrency Enhancements
• LongAdder class over AtomicLong class
• Nashorn JavaScript Engine: JavaScript made easier with Java 8
• Using Nashorn from the command line
