Presentation: Opening Keynote: Back to the Future - Java 8 is here!

Time: Thursday 09:00 - 09:50 / Location: Effectenbeurszaal

Lambda expressions, Date and Time API and Nashorn are the three most talked about new features in Java SE 8. However, there are literally hundreds more functionality updates and usability improvements that all serious Java developers should know about. This talk will highlight the top new features and improvements you should know about with code examples from one of the main developers behind Project Lambda.

Presentation: Perchance to Stream with Java 8

Track: The Future of Java / Time: Friday 11:30 - 12:20 / Location: Administratiezaal

The new lambda language features in Java SE 8 are catalysts for new APIs that would have previously been impractical or impossible. The Streams API, that enables bulk operations on collections and other aggregates, sequentially or in parallel, is one such example that is the centerpiece of the Java SE 8 libraries.

This session will, primarily via the IDE and java tooling, examine the Stream API, architecture and implementation in detail so that developers can learn how to use the API, get good performance and scalability, and apply the same design techniques to their own APIs.
